Actually, I do not mind the discussion about Ubuntu and Dell. We can learn a
lot from Ubuntu folks (or any other distribution's users for that matter).
I think the discussion about Dell computers (and hardware in general) is
very helpful for Debian users. But it is the other topics you highlighted
that get on my nerves...

I agree that having to read political rants on a technical mailing
list is quite annoying for some of us.

In my case a well-tuned killfile handles most of this problem ;-).
