That is understandable, but I think an off-topic list would be nice. I think it would only be benefitial to have a place to talk about off-topic things with other Debian users, especially when the off-topic things have to do with Debian (Which none of today's do, but oh well). I don't know anyone from the Debian team, but maybe if someone knows anyone they could shoot them an e-mail about this? It would be nice to turn debian-user into a mainly OT list, and create another list specifically for technical support. I only use this list to talk about things Debian related, so all most of these off-topic threads are doing is adding un-needed discussions into my already stuffed mailbox. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
