Oops. Yes, you are right. I was thinking ahead and didn’t proofread properly.

Regarding the ‘popups’ (nicetitles), I was hoping they would reflect better on destination and add context even if you choose not the follow the hyperlinks.

I didn’t realise some people found them obnoxious. Thanks for the feedback on that. We’ll see what we can do.

“Watch how they use the highly-anticipated release of Ubuntu 8.10″

Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex isn’t until October. I assume you meant 8.04 Hardy Heron? =P

Interesting blog, but those little popups on *every* link annoy me to no end.

There was actually a nasty unsubscription bug with the mailing list software around then. There is no reason to forcibly remove someone from a mailing list who isn’t actively contributing negatively to it, so you shouldn’t worry about that ever happening if you are not posting.

I’ve just checked again. Seems like the last message I received was on January 30th (it goes into a separate directory, so I rarely see it), so someone might have tossed me out then (I guess I shouldn’t be surprised if it were the case) because I only received crossposted items after that (falling into the same directory). To clarify, I’ve been on that list for years, long before the Microsoft deal which turned many people sour. I didn’t subscribe with malice in mind.

Thanks, Francis. I’ll correct this post.

Well, since no-one else corrected you:

francis@opensuse:~/stuff> grep ‘opensuse-kde’ ./opensuse-kde-2008-03 |wc -l
156

156 posts in one month is not exactly what I would call a “permanent state of silence”. Strange idea.
