Mailing List profile



  Hello,

As, I hope, most of you know, LinuxIL was NOT meant as a Newbie-Friendly
mailing list. Anyone asking a newbie question (such as "How do I make ls
look more like dir?") would be flamed to death for our amusement, usually
in Latin, along with their families, friends, neighbours, pets, etc.

Does anyone think we should maintain this policy? Or should we become a
general list for anyone at all?

Please note there are advantages and disadvantages for each policy. If we
keep this a Guru- or semi-Guru level list, we'll have more interesting
discussions. However, a lot of newbies will post ANYway, and we'd have
a lot less people in here than if Newbies could post.

My personal feeling is that we shouldn't flame newbies, but that everyone
should be required to, at least, read the FAQ before posting.

			Bye,

				-Yaron.
