Hi, I think the time (150 messages and counting) has come to ask someone of the CentOS team to start moderating this list. I don't mind people discussing whatever topic they like, but not at the expense of the mailinglist and its members. I don't think the topic really doesn't matter in these discussions, and if done in private they would stand for long anyway. I would propose someone who has authority of moderating people to send out a warning when a thread has to end (eg. when people start repeating themselves or insults become the main theme) and if necessary temporarily moderate these people/the thread. I think the mere existence of such a moderator could be sufficient to end lasting threads like the previous. Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
