Just so everyone knows, I joined the original cAos list on 2004Nov24. I largely lurked and helped people off-list. When the CentOS change came about in 2005Mar, I subscribed to the new list on 2005Mar29. I lurked a bit longer and then just decided to help people on-list starting mid-April. Now I don't deny I've gone off-topic, and I'm trying to curb that. I'm sure the verbosity of my posts are something many people dislike as well -- e.g., some people feel like I'm treating everyone like they're a 'noob in my posts. I'd rather give more info in case it's needed than not and leave someone scratching their head. But I do find it ironic that sometimes I get sole blame for things when I clearly see others participating in the thread, let alone many took it off-topic in the first place. If the general, or even a significant minority, consensus is that my posts are indeed too off-topic, I'll go back to lurking and helping off- list. I have no problem with that, and do it all-the-time. -- Bryan J.
