I've been around mailing list for a long time, and nothing disappoints 
me more than the enthusiasm with which people take up OTT arguments on 
lists like this: It's usually about renaming the list, or what the list 
'policy' is about OTT threads, or if the list should be moderated and 
all sorts of other unimportant side issues that have little to do with 
the reason the list was created for in the first place, which is to be 
read by people with a common interest in the topic the list is about.

FWIW, I think TheVeech is right: You don't have to read any of this and 
if you don't want to then don't. My criticism is that most of us don't 
want quite such a detailed explanation of what is self evident. We just 
want to talk to each other about Ubuntu, so let's do a bit more of that.

Best wishes,

	Tony.
