Post it in the off topic section of the Gentoo forums I guess but posting these on a mailing list is pretty much spam. To the contrary, I think that the OP has a lot to do with Gentoo and Linux in general. You see every day, like the poor Japanese Dolphins, countless numbers of cows are murdered every day. They are slaughtered, cut up, ground into little bits, you name it, all in the name of greed (both in terms of money and food). These innocent little souls are brought to an early death so that some may enjoy a half pound greasy burger or perhaps a 12 oz. prime rib (with grilled onions, mashed potatoes, and cream corn on the side). Like our Rising Sun Flipper, we must do something to stop the bovine genocide. Remember that our mascot and transgendered spiritual leader, Larry, is a cow, and therefore shares the same risk to his life as Willy or Bessie. And if they can go after dolphins and cows, then can penguins be next? Could little Tux's life be in danger as well? These are the things every (Gentoo) Linux user should be concerned about. Kudos to the OP for bringing this important issue to our attention! -m -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
