Where does one see the list charter? Neither googling "debian-user"+"mailing list"+charter nore "debian-user"+"mailing list"+rules nor a search on the debian.org site itself nor just general searching came up with it within the top 20 results. http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct is an excellent guideline for everyone using the Internet, but it doesn't address what is and is not on topic on Debian-User. https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ doesn't say what's ontopic, it merely says high volume, unmoderated (I would never have guessed). An easily findable charter for this list would be an excellent resource, and might stop many meta-arguments in their tracks. But I can't find it. Maybe I'm just not good at searching, but I couldn't find it. SteveT -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
