I recall hearing that rumour (the one about this list being about
kernel-level networking) a while back. Far enough back that I wouldn't
expect most subscribers to remember it.

If this list /is/ intended for kernel (rather than userspace)
networking issues, then:

1. The "Welcome to linux-net" message from Majordomo should probably
say so. Otherwise there isn't any reason to suspect that userspace
networking is off-topic.

2. Off-topic posts should be handled consistently. There have been
plenty of posts which, while farther off topic than the one in
question, never received any such comments.
