getting a little difficult to find the ON topic posts.
Actually for me the problem is that I pay by the amount of bandwidth that
I use. Believe it or not all these OT posts put together costs me money.
I think the best way to deal with this (in a band width efficient manner)
is to subscribe to this mailing list through gmane newsgroup interface
and then use knode -> Scoring -> Ignore thread. That way I do not even
download those posts.
That's an *excellent* idea.
I hate gmane (or maybe just it's web interface). d-u is dual-ported
to news:linux.debian.user. That's what I'd use.
linux.debian.user doesn't propagate well and, IIRC, doesn't have a reliable
mail2news gateway. nntp://news.game.org/linux.debian.user would be a more
appropriate URL if you want the newsgroup version of the list.
