Carlos moderates a list (a thankless job, so big thanks Carlos!). Unlike you, he is \
not calling for one entire mode of accessing the lists to be slammed shut. Big \
difference! If you want to do the latter, you will need the openSUSE board to enact \
and enforce a consistent policy. You cannot just say: I find it practical, so I shall \
shut down *all* people who use access lists in a particular way just because I feel \
they are a good-for-nothing minority of users.
