I don't agree. I can certainly put up with Linda's posts, which I do not normally read. But I think that when someone posts personal remarks that might damage someone else's reputation it is appropriate to bar the poster from a mailing list or newsgroup, if feasible. Incidentally, I don't think the nonsense-to-sense ratio on this list is inordinately high. I read the sci.math list, which is at least 90% gibberish. I'd put the ratio here at under 10%. (I don't include OT postings, like this one; they are largely a matter of opinion.) -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
