If you wish to i'm not saying you should never post anything not directly related to linux to this list. however, if you're going to post a question related to installing windows on a linux users' group, you should be prepared at the least for a little ribbing. and again, i don't think i was really out of line asking that you simply prefix such messages with an "[OT] " or "OT: " as is proper netiquette. If you read back in the plug archives, for example, there are almost 30 messages under an "OT" subject in the past month alone. And many of these were much more on-topic than your mail. sean Attachment:
