Do you?  Well, I suppose we should change the tag line at:
http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-users
from:
"cobalt-users -- Mailing list for users to share thoughts on Sun Cobalt
products."
to:
"cobalt-users -- Mailing list for anyone to share thoughts on
communicating 'effectively' in user's groups based, or any other opinion
one might have that is completely off-topic, space wasting content."

If you actually have something important to say to Bruce Timberlake, then
say it Bruce Timberlake off-list.

And, it doesn't matter where you sign your name (before or after your
"-- ", it's still a line in your signature.

Sometimes I look forward to reading through the messages of the list.  But,
when I read so much of this OT stuff mixed in with the "real" content, I
wonder if there might be better communties for sharing Cobalt-related
information.

I'm not trying to center you out specifically, but this is just another
example of garbage I have to wade through.  The reason I'm sending you this
is because I have found some of your other contributions to the list to be
informative and helpful, so I don't necessarily want to just filter you out
of my system.
