To go on, the description of this mail list is: "Answers "What is this list for? "ubuntu-users is a mailing list staffed by volunteer community members to provide technical support to Ubuntu Users. "Users of Ubuntu and officially supported derivatives (Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu) can get support here. Users of derivatives (such as Backtrack and Linux Mint) are not officially supported. "What is this list NOT for? "Anything that is not specifically a request for or response to technical support. "Please remember that due to the size and nature of the ubuntu-users mailing list it's not possible to maintain the off topic banter and expect to keep the helpful volunteers subscribed that benefit all. "Simply linking semi-relevant web links and expecting discussion to evolve is not considered on topic for this list. There are many places online you can share interesting stories but please bear in mind the reason for why this list exists. "Anyone repeatedly instigating off topic conversation is likely to be individually moderated by the team to ensure further input is on topic and constructive. "Please don't send "testing" emails to the list. If you think you have a problem sending or receiving emails relating to this list please see Where can I go with further questions or concerns?" This comes from: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuUsersListFAQ">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuUsersListFAQ</a> Because I am a just a bit confused about what you wrote above, can you please, and I ask this with the greatest of respects to your position as Moderator, how the posts in this thread do not conform to the definition of the word "technical support" which this mail list offers? What I am terrified of at the moment is that my post will not see the say of light on this list because of what you wrote: "FROM A MODERATOR: don't post to this thread". (And not even a "Please" to be seen.) Because of this I am sending this post to couple of people who habitat this list so that they know about my concern re why you wrote what you did.
