The last thing you want is a list full of kids going "hi i instal cobalt raq wat games kan i get 4 
it????????".  I don't encourage flaming, but sometimes pointing out to people who post emails that 
are barely legible, that perhaps they should make an attempt at properly structuring things.  It 
tends to keep lists pretty selfregulated.

That said though, I guess it'll probably still happen anyway even though the FAQ advises against it.

Can we have the mailing list manager software strip attachments such as exe, scr, zip, etc?  There's 
some attachments that *are* valid (PGP signatures, for example), so dropping everything won't be 
considered a good move.

Does the mailing list currently allow posts from nonmenbers? 

R

(Good FAQ, though - very consise.)
