I think we are an interesting friendly community of peoples (and others) who think similarly, have similar opinions, and we simply talk about all things together, even if it's not strictly technical. I think it creates a better friendly atmosphere here.

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.
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.
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.)
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.

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 am an excellent example of that, officially with an 8th grade education, I have made my living for all these years now putting the electronic genie to work doing useful things, but should you choose, I can also discuss Einsteins theory including my personally observed evidence that he is correct that you won't find in text books.
