There was some discussion of this when I first started forwarding these newsletters to the list. I can't find it in the archives, so I think it must have been at one of the meetings. At the time most people seemed to be generally in favor of it, or at least not violently opposed to the idea. In all the months I've been forwarding them to the list you're the only person who's complained about it. Maybe everyone else loves reading them, or maybe there's a silent majority who just grumble each time they see these messages and gnash their teeth while they delete them. I don't know. If people don't want to read them, I can very easily stop forwarding them. I will add a few points: * O'Reilly has been a big supporter of Linux and Open Source. * They've provided free review copies of books for several people in the group. (And please let me know when you've finished your reviews. :) * Marsee's newsletters always have the same subject. If you don't want to see them, you can easily remove them with your favorite mail filtering program. Walt Attachment:
