out of date, since we were running kernel 1,2,8 by that time ... ;) I

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I, for one, am gratified to see some discussion that is Linux
related on any Linux list. We seem to have become quite silent
since the original list split into many lists.</p>
<p>I used to love reading the discussions on the SLUG list in the
early days (1996- ...). The enthusiasm demonstrated then was
infectious. I started using Linux with Ydrassil in about 1993 or
so. It came on 11 5.25 inch floppy disks and was purely command
line. I'm no expert but I learned a great deal from the various
discussions on lists like this. Please keep it up.</p>
<p>Ashley (AKA Heracles)</p>

I can both sites of the argument. I don't think an emotional
response from anyone was needed though.<br>
<br>
One thing is for certain, it has created more dialogue than
we've seen on this list for a long time 😄<br>

<p>lets all sign up to all linux aus's lists, then try
remember which one is on or off topic for what...
heck... it wont be that hard really since the lists
get about 10 posts a year....</p>
<p>jesus... if one objects to a topic - ignore the F'in
thing.... its not like this is a high traffic list -
which is when it would matter sp tech stuff doesnt get
lost in noise, but on such a low traffic list like
this, so low i'm sure most of us forget we are on it,
it doesnt matter, now I dont and wont speak for the
majority, but i'd be surprised if the silent majority
disagreed.</p>

<div>I guess I was one of the silent majority and I didn't
agree with the sentiment. I've worked in IT for over 26
years now and one thing I tell most folks about email is
that one, it's not instant messaging, and two, there's no
compulsion to read all messages. </div>
