The four of you - so far - can of course<div>simply not open the "NOT LINUX" postings,</div><div>which is why the subject line provides the </div><div>warning. That's been the convention for a</div><div>while now.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Net neutrality is not a static issue, which </div><div>is why I monitor the situation. And it's likely</div><div>more of an issue than it's given credit for,</div><div>but that could only be the makings of a </div>
<div>discussion.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm chastened, and can see that something</div><div>like net neutrality does not have the stature</div><div>of something like the posting of floppy drives</div><div>playing a marching tune, one more go around</div>
<div>about where and when to meet, endless </div><div>discussions about the right package to use</div><div>for GRLUG messages, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>I can't tell whether anyone else on the list</div><div>does find the net neutrality issue of interest,</div>
<div>because they tend not to want to suppress</div><div>discussion. But for the four of you, and </div><div>possibly more, let it be fair warning then that</div><div>some are attempting to monitor what goes</div><div>on the GRLUG forum. Or is an actual monitor</div>

<div><br></div><div>In it's own way this kind of sounds like a local</div><div>version of the net neutrality issue, doesn't it......</div><div><br></div><div>OK folks, beware of what you post, and</div><div>hope the gang of four - or more - doesn't</div>

</div>Concur. Even within the topic, it's rehashing the same points over and<br>
over again. It's really, really old. I wasn't going to bite on this<br>
last one, but I'm happy to agree that it's not useful or interesting<br>
on this list any more.<br>
