[oclug] sco vs. linux cont....

[Shad Young]

I have had enough!

I am making an official request to the board that this list be
moderated or split as I suggested. I also formally request  Brad
Barnett be censured. Posting a private message back to the list when
there was nothing slanderous or libelous in its content is beyond
reprehensible. This sort of ridiculous thread does nothing to earn
OCLUG respect and diminishes us all.

There has been far far to much of this drivel from the same damn
sources. This list needs to be made relevant again and it needs to be soon.

Thank you.

Shad
