OK. Lately I've seen this type of complaining in some of the linux mailing
lists and now this one. I've been subscribed to this list for a couple of
years now, and it's only been recently that people have REALLY started
complaining. Everyone wants other people to help them cut down their
so-called "clutter" in their inboxes. Is it just that people are too lazy
to delete messages they don't want to read? Yeah, I have a TP755CD, so the
701 upgrade info doesn't pertain to me, but I read a few posts because I
was curious. When I decided I didn't want to read the following posts on
the thread, I just deleted them. Simple.
People remember that these listservs are here for information. What you
may not consider valuable information, may be exactly the answer the next
guy was looking for. So lets stop all the "the noise is too high" talk and
the "trim your headers" messages and just share the information.
I have been a lister mostly for the last year or so, because not too many
questions reguarding Linux and the 755 have popped up. But I still enjoy
the wealth of information that passes through the list. Just because
someone unsubscribes because they think there is too much noise is no
reason to cut the information flow to the rest of the list.
Flame away....
