This is not the place to complain about such "conduct", however, since the people subscribed to this list are here to discuss technical issues relating to the -stable branch of FreeBSD, not to hear off-topic complaints about something over which they have not the slightest degree of control in any case. FreeBSD-stable is an open list and anyone and his dog is free to subscribe to it, that degree of freedom also allowing anyone and his dog to flame some other poster via return email if they choose to do so and there's absolutely NOTHING that the literally thousands of people on this list can do to protect you from that. Filling their mailboxes with complaints about this is, therefore, hardly the height of "polite behavior" and if you're one to complain about such social transgressions then I can only suggest that you read up a bit on email and mailing list etiquette since you've just tarred yourself with the very same brush. I haven't seen anything in your postings to -stable which were anything but off-topic and a waste of our bandwidth. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
