Larry,
Celebrating the fact that many of those replying to your thread agree that it's not off topic by turning this into a personal feud is very much not done IMO. Please refrain from mentioning people's names in subject lines just to rub it in that people agree with you and not the other person. (And that post about something breaking on SL without any references wasn't very helpful really.)
Even though I agree your original post is sufficiently on topic it is very much an FAQ. CentOS's stand on binary compatibility wrt upstream has been made very clear from the start.

Suggesting that kill files are a solution to poor poster behaviour is just silly. Nothing wrong with occasionally reeducating posters to mailing lists how they could behave instead of having to rely on such symptom fighting.
