lostsonI think  I have had enough of the ubuntu-users mailing list i think it is time to ditch my sub to it22:05
=== Cheesehead_away is now known as Cheesehead
Cheeseheadlostson: Really?22:17
CheeseheadWhat's in it? I never tried it.22:17
* Cheesehead looks up the ubuntu-users mailing list22:18
CheeseheadAieeeeeeeee!  What a train wreck!22:19
CheeseheadYeah, just looking at the subject headers for September, I don't want any part of that.22:19
CheeseheadThanks, lostson, for keeping me away from there.22:20
lostsonits moslty about 4 people whining and crying saying that everything above 10.04 is useless and you shouldnt use unity22:23
lostsonits just pure crap22:23
CheeseheadWell, they have a valid point. I liked Linux a lot better back in the old days when I had to compile everything uphill both ways in the snow every day.22:25
Cheesehead...which, of course, explains why I use Ubuntu.22:25
lostsonwell gentoo is of course still available22:25
CheeseheadHaters gonna hate. And I'm gonna laugh at them quietly in my corner over here.22:26
lostsonim all for differences of opinion but that list is out of control and no one is taking care of it or moderating it all22:26
lostsoni brought this to jono's attention the other day on G+ but he was more interested in his birthday wish list on amazon than he was responding to anything22:27
lostsoni like ubuntu and enjoy unity alot but more and more i am tempted to switch to something else when dealing with the community surrounding ubuntu well except for y'all of course y'all are great22:29
CheeseheadThe I'm-gonna-broadcast-every-random-thought people do cause a bit of noise!22:35
CheeseheadLooking over that mialing list, it does seem out of control.22:35
* Cheesehead unfumbles his fingers22:35
lostsonyeah its not pretty22:36
CheeseheadBrainstorm was the same way for a long time. I'm pleased that I help bring it back under control22:40
CheeseheadNow it's doing it's original purpose again.22:41
CheeseheadWho is supposed to moderate that mailing list?22:42
lostsonno idea would have to look it up22:42
CheeseheadPerhaps they need a leader to step up, take the reins, and steer that runaway back from the cliff22:44
lostsonif you dig deep enough you will see this has been brought up a few times and there is never any response22:47
lostsonthe fedora list got this way then they stepped in and cleaned it up22:47
Cheeseheadlostson: Aha.23:05
Cheeseheadubuntu-users list run by mako at ubuntu.com, brian.murray at ubuntu.com, alan at popey.com, lyz at ubuntu.com, mike.basinger at gmail.com23:06
CheeseheadWhy not ping them on the topic?23:06
CheeseheadOffer your services as a moderator?23:06
lostsoni wonder why none of them do any moderating23:07
CheeseheadWell, I see a lot of them flitting about between many projects, so I suspect time may be and issue23:07
lostsonahh23:07
CheeseheadOld project, slippeded past, perhaps?23:07
CheeseheadI doubt you'll get any of them interested in spending more time moderating - on the planet, they always seem interested in the new23:08
CheeseheadDisclaimer: I have never met them, and so am probablyt quite wrong23:08
lostsonyeah but you never know23:08
lostsonding dong my pizza is here bbl23:08
