Ah, I see, my mistake. I thought the purpose of this list was to help with linux related questions. I totally missed that it was here for your amusement.
And no, I am not willing to spend my time loading an app and deleting the OT's from the server BEFORE I download my email, just not worth the hassle.

You misunderstood, I was pointing out that you were on THIS list back when General was created. This means that you know why it was created and what its purpose was for. I have never subscribed to the General list because I was/am not interested in OT email. However, since you stated that you are on the General list, you knew what its purpose was and subscribed to it for its purpose.

There, I continued your OT email, much to my own disgust since it wasn't linux related....I hope it served your purpose, to amuse you.
