Geez instead of spamming every Debian list and making you the top poster in terms of number of Debian lists today, what about announcing this no -project and/or -devel and in the next developer news?
Well, I recieved 3 contra and about 30 pro mails for what I've done. This is about what I expected. Becuase you are asking in public I try a short answer: 1. The template had a specific content which was intentionally marked. 2. The readers of mailing lists who show activity problems are most probably and will not read -project or -devel so I would not have reached them = I would have failed my basic intention to reach problematic list. 3. I want to trigger discussion about my specific interpretation of the list activity on the according list. What would you suggest to approach this without spamming some lists that perhaps does not need this trigger? 4. According to spam: As a side effect I've detected about 4500 Spam mails in our archive. Do you consider sending one single mail to about 30 list as excusable if I might help out to clean up the archive from this mails as a punishment I deserve for this misuse?
I've gotten basically the same template 12 times.
Thanks for your obviosely high activity in Debian for subscribing 12 lists. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
