I think it's a valid solution just because it does not fit into your
solution doesn't mean it's not a valid solution. Like I mentioned before
censorship is not the answer, why not just killfile the people you

It's not about censorship. It's about self-control. Clueless noobs
(*Cough* *buntu *Cough*) come here looking for answers. OT is driving
away the very best people (DDs) who might help them.

personally like some of Roberto's posts I find his reasoning to be very
will thought out.

I do too. This isn't "pile on Roberto Sanchez." It's "fix the list."
I blame lots of people, including myself. I've participated in those
threads myself. However, if someone like Joey Hess can't stand
looking in from time to time, we may as well all wander over to
alt.os.linux.ubuntu. Good luck finding help there.

I for one would miss his helpful on topic posts to new members. I
also find him to be respectful giving as much attention this thread

I agree. However, he's also been utterly oblivious to what Joey's
practically begged him for. Defending *excessive* OT in the face of
imminent list destruction does neither of you any service.

I have never singled out Roberto as being any sort of problem. He is
not the problem. *Actions* like his and others are the problem.

I want Joey Hess and his ilk back, and I want the noobs to be
comfortable here. Anything that gets in the way of that hurts
Debian. And it really annoys me that this stuff is spilling over into
debian-devel. Are we going to kill that list next? Is this just a
troll party?

Buenos noches.
