Disclaimer: I'm new around here (Philly), and not a big contributor to the list, so my opinion likely isn't worth much, but... I appreciate many of the recent OT messages. I subscribed to this *local* linux list because I wanted to hear from local people about local issues. Finding a Linux-friendly PC shop, diagnosing weirdness with regional ISPs, and discussing availability of local ISP services (FIOS) seem particularly relevant to a Philly list, and don't seem inappropriate to me. There are lots of lists for Linux issues, but I know of only one where the above mentioned topics might make sense... /chris ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
