OK, I will reply to the list. This list was touted as the one to sign
up with where off topic as well as on topic discussions were allowed. I
opted NOT to sign up for the more strict ON topic only version of the
list. But apparently neither is for general discussion, BOTH are only
strictly ON Topic. Im outa here, too many net police on this list
Sorry I didn't have time to dispose of my garage full of computers. I
will just take them to E Bay where no one bitches about being slightly
off topic.
Enjoy yourselves, I'm outa here.

all of the people on the list that might be
annoyed at modern Linux and
Windows (or whatever) talk? I can't be the only one here.
Consider yourself not the only one :)
I don't mind a little OT chat on the cctalk
list - it doesn't hurt for the
most part. My objection is that there are probably hundreds of forums that
are better suited for Linux talk. Why post here, when it will annoy some
people?
Not just that, also include the highly political nature of those
discussions; they're all much more suited for comp.os.linux.advocacy
or the various Windows/Linux/xBSD technical groups/lists.
NOT HERE.
