    Right,

    The question it was regarding was about SCO vs SuSE, you have had your
    answer, been directed to the correct forum, reminded you had already
    asked the question and received many answers in the news group. Just
    drop this particular topic okay?

    You have been given plenty of links to get on with by now, detailing why
    people are not overly worried. If you do persist harping on about this
    topic you are only going to make people less keen helping you when you
    actually have a problem you need fixing.

    The XFree question never came in to this discussion.

    From what I can see, you are not blacklisted from the mailing list, but
    some people have started taking steps filtering out your postings. That
    is usually a sign to start learning from mistakes made. I believe that
    you simply did not know better this time around.

    Hopefully you stick around with SuSE and Linux, learn a lot and in a few
    years time can start answering questions and helping newbies.

    Take it easy,
