Wow, Three years of French at UCSD and I didn't make that connection. I filtered that user a long time ago when it became apparent that I didn't find anything constructive coming from the account, for me personally. I typically do that with serial Top-Posters too, I find that even more annoying and detest having to continually scroll up/down/up/down just to figure out what's being conveyed. > > Also, some people might not be aware, but this mailing list was not > supposed to allow Gmail addresses, but a special exception was made for > people interested in Gemini to be allowed to use it.

I still block them from purchasing many services from me - Google is the great facilitator of legitimized Spam. Sean's deployment of tracking issues via Gitlab was a great idea to avoid noise while working, and effectively creates a WG (working group) that can focus on the matters at hand. Personally, I would have probably chosen tildegit, since many of the major contributors are homed in that community, or perhaps Codeberg, or even sr.ht (Yeah pls don't flame me for that - it's a good service), but Gitlab works and isn't GitHub so that's good. Thanks for that info Ben. -- Bradley D. Thornton Manager Network Services http://NorthTech.US TEL: +1.310.421.8268
