I happen to believe that the nature of the post makes a difference as to whether it is beneficial to the community. As an example, someone coming in and doing nothing but bashing Fedora without offering any helpful suggestions as to how to improve it is not beneficial to the community (this is not a reference to you in any way, it is just an EXAMPLE to illustrate the point). But this is just MY personal opinion, and I don't run this list. > I wan't aware there's a religious war about this, The "right" way to run a mailing list has been a religious war on the Internet for at least 30 years now. In this case the term "religious war" means there is really no proven right answer and there are strongly held opinions on all sides. > And who is that?

If the list is listname@server, the list owner is almost always listname-owner@server, or users-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in this case. But if you write to them, be polite. This *is* a religious war that has been going on for decades, and the people who run the Fedora list do know what they are doing. I cannot speak for them as to whether they would be receptive to suggestions, but they probably have their own religious opinions, and I can be fairly sure that they won't be too receptive to someone who comes in and acts like he knows more about running lists than they do. Stating an opinion is one thing, doing it in a way that belittles anyone who doesn't agree is another. --Greg -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
