(The message whose headers Chris posted--unless you're going to suggest that he falsified those, and I don't see any reason to suggest that--didn't come through the list.) > He's posted on this list before; that's where I know the name from, I > believe. That doesn't make it okay to contact subscribers privately with advertising, does it? (It's one thing that people email me about, say, NetBSD or Apple hardware privately; I'm fine with that, though they're probably better off mailing the list... at the least, it won't take any *longer* to get a response from me. It's quite another to effectively cold-call a bunch of people because they have a stated interest in a loosely related field.) -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
