list moderator losing perspective?

[Tony Alfrey]

I'm now getting bounces from the list for replies to the thread
"Re: can't load windoze"
in spite of the fact that it was clearly linux-relevant, since it 
involved dual-booting of linux and windoze.
The message I'm getting is:

Your request to the Linux-users mailing list

     Posting of your message titled "Re: can't load windoze"

has been rejected by the list moderator.  The moderator gave the
following reason for rejecting your request:

"Your message was deemed inappropriate by the moderator.  This thread
is off topic for this list."

- - - - - - - - -

The thread was essentially finished anyway.
However, I see that a thread with the topic
"Re: [OT] Interesting trip"
which started off as a discussion about a trip to Chernobyl and has now 
drifted to a discussion about recycled water seems to be acceptable with 
the list moderator.

So it strikes me that maybe the list moderator is more annoyed by the 
fact that other list members seem to think that the windoze thread had 
relevance in spite of the list moderator's grumpiness, and that the list 
moderator has decided unilaterally and subjectively that one thread is 
appropriate and another is not, in spite of the fact that the
"Re: [OT] Interesting trip"
thread had nothing to do with linux or even computers in general.
Perhaps posting pictures of the list moderator's trip to Death Valley, 
which I BTW enjoyed, also is inappropriate.
Get a life, "list moderator".
