I'll say something. I've seen many, many topics on this list, and the majority of topics seem to be:
ISPs, and how to set them up ("it works in Windows but not in Linux")
Discussion of "GNU/Linux" versus "Linux", or Open Source versus Free Software
Politics (okay, IT politics)
Flames
News articles peripherally connected to Linux
Job offers, and flames over job offers
More flames.
Why am I still here?
Only you can answer that question.
PS: ObDogs: List has gone to dogs.
Hmm... if you want a nice fluffy clouds and white bunnies roaming around your mailbox, you probably ought to consider a mailing list in an alternate universe.
Life's about problems and conflict. The challenge for a community is to discuss solutions and overcome that emerge better, with more perspectives. Its democracy at its best. And ilug-bom is one of THE places to be a part of that. Three cheers for ilug-bom (hip hip hooray)^3 !!!
