Disrespectful language and obscentity disqualify only those that use them. Ignoring them is the right thing to do, IMO. I would not like having rules to forbit these because those rules would disqualify the project. But I will accept a note the is considered correct to ignore such messages and the suggestion to don't reply them. I have noticed some interesting ideas in some messages, but their language convinced me that they were not worth of my attention. > "Non ti curar di lor, ma guarda e passa" -- Dante, The Divine Commedy (Sorry I'm not able to translate this in English :-) Cheers, Fabrizio -- | [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Pluto Leader - Debian Developer & Happy Debian 1.3.1 User - vi-holic | 6F7267F5 fingerprint 57 16 C4 ED C9 86 40 7B 1A 69 A1 66 EC FB D2 5E
