I just had a thought about this mailing list, and I hope you don't mind.
:) I understand how you guys are mad about the content of this newsgroup,
and that is understandable, but what you people have to realise is that
not everyone is good with the kernel, from a codeing point of view. I love
linux, use it at home, and have put a server up here at school, my purpose
of being on this list is to learn, and part of that learning is asking
questions, especially if they are kernel related, surely people may be
able to moderate there sends to this list better, but cut us a little
slack, sooner or later you guys wontr be around, and someone will have to
work on this. :) Not to be a doom bringer, I'm just saying that this list
should be open to some questions some times, how else are we going to
learn? I know c fairly well, but not well enough to program for the
kernel, and I think a lot of people are in this boat. :) I'll get off my
soapbox. imho. :)
