Frans, Cord, Martin, Pascal, I'm writing the listmasters because reading debian-user has become nearly unbearable for me (one of the sadly few DDs who bothers to read our user lists) due to volume and offensiveness/repetativeness of offtopic posts there. I've in the past threatened to leave -user entirely, and I have in fact moved a lot of my attention to providing support on forums.debian.net[4], but I would prefer that Debian articulate a policy of not tolerating this kind of behavior.
Well done Joey. As a "simple" debian user I have found OT posts the very stage of un-usefulness, so no more words to say on this. I wanna point out another "off topic issue", about people on this list complaining for users who ask for what they probably call "trivial questions". I think most of us had been a newbie, someone is going to be a developer, someone else a brilliant user. But there could be someone who only wants to be a basic debian user and well, nobody do worth these angry attitudes. Best Regards Raffaele
