Linux Movies Wiki
Wiki Web pages each have an {Edit} button that enables users to add their own content. Handy for putting together on-line catalogs and URL lists as a community.
The list is unmoderated, but posting is restricted to members. That helps trap SPAM. Do not send SPAM to the list.
Diversity of opinion is good, but we want a civil list where everyone is treated with respect and courtesy. Those who can't state their opinions positively, or are unable to respectfully disagree with the opinions of others, will be removed. Do not make accusations. Do not call people names. Do not try to tell people what to do. Do not use fighting words such as stupid, dumb, idiot, wrong, and so forth. That is not ok even if the person you are calling stupid is yourself. No swear words or obscenities.
If nobody responds it may be no one knew the answer to your question, or that your question seemed confusing. Restating a question more succinctly sometimes draws a better response. If you receive a short or incomplete answer don't feel affronted. Do not presume you know what others are thinking or what their motives are. If you are feeling neglected or insulted do not share your annoyance with the list. Send a private note to me off-list so I can sort out the problem.
Note that you need not apologize for asking a simple question. We're all confused at times.
Do not send "test" messages to the list. If you are having technical difficulties email the list manager.
Don't evangelize or state a chauvinistic opinion regarding what software others should use. Just because the list is about Linux don't assume others share your political views. Many use multiple operating systems. We are not a forum for espousing free software advocacy. Do not refer to any operating systems, or anything else, by derogatory names. Do not say Windoze.
Please do not cross-post to other lists. It is confusing and increases noise.
Mozilla-mail and Outlook Express users should take care not to post HTML-formatted email. By default Mozilla-mail and Outlook Express will duplicate each outgoing message in both plain text and HTML format. This consumes unnecessary bandwidth and annoys many users who dislike this "feature" because it displays useless gibberish in their email reader. Spammers seem to like this feature best because it lets them embed pictures and even viruses in email messages. Consequently, we trap HTML mail as suspected spam. Unfortunately, many products have this "feature" on by default. You must turn it off yourself.
In Outlook Express go to {Tools}{Options} and set outgoing mail to {Plain Text}.
Thanks!
