I am quite able to respond to people publically when
appropriate. However, I will refrain from public posting when it is more
appropriate to post privately.

Hmmm, Where else could folks send if they are having problems mailing
to the list?  I agree etiquette is important.  Then again, so is
tolerence.

Kirk, 

I know that we have our differences in opinions about different things,
however, over the past little while, all most daily, there have been
messages in my in-box with the subject line of test.  It has not been a
single flash in the pan, and I felt that it needed to be addressed.

If you were offended, then that is your own matter of opinion.  

I will remind you that I did state in the carefully worded note that it
was my opinion.

Oh yeah, I noticed that you didn't have what it takes to send your note
through the list, and I can only think that it is because you also know
that this has not been a one time only event.

I aggree with you but a couple of us were having problems specifically with
posting mail to the list.  In my case, all my mail was doing fine when
sending it to anyone else but it kept bouncing when addressed to the list.
About the only thing we could do was send something to the list with
whatever changes possible to see if it would get through.  In my case, I had
to change my mail configuration to not use my ISP's mail server because they
kept sending mail to the wrong machine causing my postings not to be
delivered.

Now that they seem to be working from my home machine, I have no further
need for test messages.  Sorry for the trouble.

Over the past little while there have been a number of messages sent to
the list with the subject line of "Test", or "Testing" or some variation
of the like.  In my opinion, and I stress that is my opinion, that this
not what a list is meant for.  Lists are for the sharing of information
and not the testing of your mail server and/or client.  

I suggest that if you are testing to see that all is set up correctly on
your Linux box, then set up another user on your Linux machine, and send
a test message to it.  If you are sending out a message to see if the
list is alive or not, because you have not received a message from it in
the last 10 minutes, then please don't.  Remember, if you are a member
of a list, when the list server receives a message, you will be sent
that message.

Finally, I am sure that if there is a problem with the list, the
administrator of the list will let the members know of the problem once
it is fixed.
