I would be cool with something like that, too. Whatever works; I am not
particular about the "how" (at least, not yet), but I don't want to keep
having this same flame war over and over, again and again.

I suggest that we develop some kind of consensus on how to handle this
kind of situation. I do not wish to feel uncomfortable, nor do I want
others to feel so. After we have participated in this list over several
years, some of us have got to know one another better than others, but
somehow we are expected to interact like AI bots without emotions.
All the same, let's not keep going round like this. Let's just agree to
take it private once it starts to go off-topic.
Personally I find the Off topic posts more interesting that the On topic
posts, so forcing people to go private just for list’s appropriate
etiquette sake seems a bit too far? Obviously anything actually private
should go private, or we possibly end up with annoying sales pitches.
In that regard here’s a proposal?
- If you’re going off topic, add to the subject “[OT]” (positioned about
where whoever adds [BULK] *).
(If someone went OT, be nice and add it for them in any OT replies.)
- Continue using the original thread just for on topic posts. On

+1 Slavek, thank you, even if my keyboard

A technical and friendly list is not incompatible.
The friendly side is a good "motor" to help much better.
The desktop is very important to manage the system.
The fact that people are fan of TDE, make them happy on Linux,
contributes to increase GNU/Linux and the free-opensource software.
I don't understand some displaced reactions. Okay, we’ve got Bill’s and my proposals (and de.bug’s
I guess), everyone
toss out what you’d like to see. That way we can come up with a definitive
“way we do it here” statement. So people don’t get butthurt and leave in a
huff ;) . (Or maybe she/he thought I called him stupid for being young?
Lacking quality education yes, stupid, no... If they have the desire,
anyone can open a book and make up for any educational lack.)
Down, Michael! Bad dog! Let's not be ungenerous to others.
;-)
I’ll shut up now.
Best,
Michael
* Speaking of the [BULK] thing, whoever keeps adding that would you please
edit your subject before sending the email to remove it? Better yet, edit
your rule/filter so it’s never added. Highly annoying that.
