The "Owners" of the list can be reached at:
ubuntu-users-owner at lists.ubuntu.com
though I'm not sure if they like being contacted directly about
messages on this list.

That happens a lot.
The usual response is "take it to sounder"
however in this case that's probably not advisable either.

Don't be so absurd, I would hope you know that is NOT Ubuntu's purpose!

So I should be "terminated" for telling someone how to create a filter
in Gmail? Thanks a lot!

Incidentally "terminate" is often a synonym for "kill" in my country.
I will assume you were not aware of that use of the word "terminate".

A least you have good tastes in literature!
(However discussions of H2G2 are more at home on sounder, not here ;) )
