Could the whole discussion on Erik issues over Mother
Teresa MOVE to the english list where it is relevant
WHILE
The whole discussion on watch list issues move from
the english list to the general list, where it is
relevant
OR
could we just swap mailing list names since
discussions relevant on english matter are on the
general list, while discussions relevant to the whole
community are on the english list ?

Sigh. Another thinly veiled threat from our dear
friend 142.177.
http://meta.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Maveric149&diff=1997…
"Sadly, you didn't learn your lesson from your first
attempt at slander and censure.
There are very few things you will regret more in your
life than defending your little clique of friends
here, Daniel Mayer. What they are doing is wrong,
racist, illegal, immoral and stupid. You seemed to
realize this for a while, but, you have stepped back
in, so, you deserve what you get. This is very sad.
You seemed to have grown up. But obviously not."
"There are very few things you will regret more in
your life than defending your little clique of friends
here, Daniel Mayer." Sounds a lot like a mobster
telling a buisnessman that he will "regret" not doing
what the mobster wants. Sigh.
Sorry Craig Hubley (who lives in the Toranto area),
but the only regret is that I gave you some slack. The
hard ban will be enforced.
If my mentioning the real name of 142.177 was out of
line, then somebody delete this post.

Isn't that what Wikibooks's completely neglected
[[Study help desk]] was supposed to be for?

It used to be true, and may still be, that when you bought a print copy
of the Britannica and do all the things they want you to do (like
subscribing to their yearbook), the price also entitled you to submit a
limited number of research requests to the Britannica. You were allowed
five a year, or something like that.
Soooooo... by analogy... should the price that people pay for Wikipedia
similarly entitle them to a limited number of research requests?
:-)

Just be sure to save one file containing a prayer onto each hard drive
on each server... that's the equivalent 7200 PPM (prayers per minute).
(Some extremely pious system administrators try to save one prayer per
disk platter or even one prayer per disk surface).

I would like to humbly request that we pray for God's blessing upon the
new servers -- that they will work well and that they will serve all of
humanity with accurate and useful knowledge.
For those of you who do not believe in God, try this formula:
"Oh, God, if there is a God..."

I don't think that's such a good idea, since some
people attach PGP public keys to all of their outgoing
mail.

Brion,
Can we install Spam Assassin software on the wikien-l mailing list? How
about other mailing lists?
Anthere and I have gotten tired of reading and deleting up to 30 daily
spam, spam, spam, ham, eggs and spam (hasn't got MUCH spam in it) every
day -- the joke gets old after a while.

That's strange. I always thought of you as
free-thinking and rational.
