Actually, that brings up a good point: could those of you who feel
compelled to correct people's netiquette PLEASE e-mail the offending
person OFF-LIST? It gets tiresome to see the same netiquette messages
posted multiple times per day. They do nothing but raise the noise
level, and these lists (fedora-list and fedora-test-list) need all the
help they can get maintaining the S/N ratio.
