&gt; Subject: Re: Lots of SPAM on the list
&gt; Someone mentioned off-topic &quot;Feedback&quot; we get. This comes from people
&gt; who click on &quot;Feedback&quot; on our homepage. If I click on it I'm
&gt; presented with &quot;You are sending a comment to: ldp-discuss ...&quot; with
&gt; &quot;Subject: Feedback&quot;. Then I hit return, write any comment I want to
&gt; (on almost any topic )-: and send it.
Since when does &quot;feedback&quot; mean &quot;consulting help&quot; ?! Can we
no longer trust anyone?! ;-)
&gt; There is no information shown to me as to what I may write about.
&gt; This is just asking for off-topic posts and that's exactly what we
&gt; get. Let's present people who want to send feedback with some
&gt; guidelines for such feedback. We could say for example:
&gt;
&gt; We welcome your comments on the Linux Documentation Project (LDP).
&gt; But remember that we are a volunteer organization with limited
&gt; resources so we can't do everything. Your feedback will be sent to a
&gt; mailing list that is only for discussion of the LDP issues so please
&gt; don't ask technical questions about Linux. For more information about
&gt; this mailing list and where to find answers see [link to &quot;Mailing
&gt; lists&quot;].
We might as well link them to the LDP Mailing List Information page,
which is what we had previously (<A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org/mailinfo.html">http://www.linuxdoc.org/mailinfo.html</A>).
Recall that I added text such as you mention, plus provided a set
of links for &quot;questions of a general Linux nature&quot;.
