technically he did not reply to spam... he created a new thread by modifying the subject, and identifying it as [Spam] so it could get trapped in appropriate filters wherever they exist! patience is a virtue best practiced by silence... now is the time for me to go and seek silence :-) -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

Not sure why I find myself replying to this post, but I am going to do it anyways. On Dec 4, 2007 3:33 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > technically he did not reply to spam...

Re: [Spam] [was: [PLUG] Tips for property buyer]
Now making this relevant to Linux and GNU/Linux... isn't that same thing (somewhat similar) what Richard M. stalman did? Think of it... little deeply.. He also prepended [Linux] with [GNU/] just like thread hijacker (so you called him) did... All flames welcome on this topic... -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

There is nothing wrong with a list of emails, as long as there is no problem with each recipient being able to see the other contacts. If multiple recipients are entered in this field, it should be appropriate for each contact to email each other. CC: Known as Carbon Copy or Courtesy Copy. This field is exactly like the To: field, except it isnt required to be filled. CC: acts more like a differentiator for contacts who may want a copy of the email but are not required to participate in the conversation, i.e. management. It basically says, this email is directed to you but these people are reading it too. Those who would appear in the CC: field should have filters applied. === Kindly check the headers for 'to' and 'cc' of the e-mail sent by me. (No offence intended.)

[PLUG] Cheat Sheet / Quick Start Guide
Hi all, One of the idea's that turned up at the PLUG meeting was creation of a cheat sheet / quick start guide of about one page in length(A4 size) which can be included with CD's or distributed to public. (eg. at the IT expo) It can contain things like 1. Link to help sites (eg. tldp, some forums) 2. Generic Commands 3. Applications for common tasks (eg. commonly used multimedia application) OR FOSS equivalents of popular proprietary software. 4. Help of distro selection. If anyone has come across such a cheat list - links / pointers. Else, we will have to compile this list. Any help on this would be appreciated too. -Devendra Laulkar. Never miss a thing.

[PLUG] Help needed for participation in CMDA Exhibition
Hi, As people who attended this month's meeting would already know, PLUG is participating in IT Expo 2007. The expo will be held between 20th-23rd of December @ Sakhar Sankul, behind Agricultural College (Shivajinagar area) You can find more details at http://www.cmdapune.com/html/cmdaevents.html Typically around 2-3 lac people visit the expo over four days. This includes people from all walks of life - students, corporates, government officials, retired people. This year, PLUG has got a confirmed stall at the event. Typically activities range from explaining what Free & Open Source software is all about, handling queries like "But it does not play mp3 songs", actually demo (we have 2 machines at the expo with different distro's loaded) that it does indeed play mp3 songs, booking of cd's/tshirts. We need help. This includes volunteering to man the stall at the event, burning cd's, help with content of flyer's distributed at the event, lending computer's. For further information, please contact me offlist. -Devendra Laulkar. Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail. See how. http://overview.mail.yahoo.com/ -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
