Wells" To: FreeBSD-questions Subject: Invitation to use -chat for its intended purpose Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Much religous discussion has gone on this list in the last few days. Mr. Lehey recently apologized for a spammish message. Hey! We have a resource for this sort of non-technical discussion. I do not propose that we end this lively discussion. I do propose that we move to an appropriate medium. I had subscribed to -chat for a week. I got NOT ONE message. Perhaps we as a community could commit to moving -chattish topics to the -chat list. It would reduce the signal to noise here in -questions. This would require the same sort fo self moderation that we see when a message gets forwarded to -questions from someone on the -hackers list. The folks on -hackers can self moderate. So can the folks on -questions. (Is there on overlap between these subscriber bodies? :) I would love to wax zealous on -chat. I am reluctant to get too non-technical here on -questions. Have fun, | Stop warning me about the latest virus. Learn more...
