That's what YOU'RE SUPPOSED to do when you join a list.  You fit in with
the list - how it was already working before you arrived, and what the
majority of the members expect it continue to be like.

There's plenty of examples.  You're the only one doing the pointless
"today I bought a new computer" messages (those daily diary entries,
that just tell us what you're doing, but aren't actually stating a
problem, solution, or otherwise being of any point to anyone else), and
all those false complaints about getting "bad advice" when you were
getting good advice that you just didn't want to hear.  There's hundreds
of other messages a week of the sorts of things that are normal for the
list.  Don't try and justify your own bad behaviour by tying it against
one other person.

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
