I would think that anyone who is not primarily interested in the
mindless bickering, would be inclined to stay away from it, apart from
the victim, who has been trying to end the bickering..

If you think that this is all a matter of "lets attack Bret, all those
against him on this side of the line, and all those against him on that
side of the line", and, your obvious attempt at point scoring, that is
unfortunate.

This mailing list was once related to Linux, and to helping people with
Linux queries.

It is unfortunate that it has lost its way, to be taken over by people
more interested in hostile campaigns.

Hopefully, matters relating to Linux, will, sometime, again be present
on the list, without the mindless bickering.
