This list has far less off-topic traffic than most and, coincidentally, it's exactly the same amoutn whether accessed via an IMAP or NNTP server. > But are users really welcome to Gentoo?

What is not welcome, and this applies to most walks of life, not only this list, is people who enter an established community and then proceed to tell everyone they are doing it wrong, over and over again. Proposing a change to see the reaction is one thing, to keep banging on it when no one else is supporting your viewpoint is annoying at best. --=20 Neil Bothwick "Energize!" said Picard and the pink bunny appeared... --Sig_/oWQ5F+.vSHfhti7pQrbPs=2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkyHjJkACgkQum4al0N1GQOLzwCg0HLwPPjM8i8xopbgn8Pg/p4/ d9cAoM3LwJozndlzuO9cDh/gFs4Kn0gS =R/eR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/oWQ5F+.vSHfhti7pQrbPs=2--
