I enjoyed the OT bit and what I was trying to get at in my original post is
that for the OFF T bits to continue then it will need to move from the list
as it has become unacceptable to have it on the list. I am happy to keep the
OFF T off as long as there is an area where I can go OFF T. I do not want to
unsubscribe because I like the list and have met some decent folk there. I
would like to see Gllug expand into more than a mailing list for Linux. We
all started out having Linux in common but that has changed. If you think of
the range of things people on the list want to talk about then the mailing
list is not up to this task. I have heard suggestions of a wiki where people
could write their thoughts on various topics. I think that this is a good
idea.
