I've had it.
It has come to my attention that certain companies are using snapshots of the subscriptions to the linux lists at vger to blindly perform mass mail advertisements.
Companies that I find are doing this will be black listed by me, this means.
All users at your company will be unsubscribed from all linux lists at vger, any future subscription requests will be denied.
If this goes any further out of hand, the "who listname" feature will be permanently disabled at vger.rutgers.edu to even subscribers of lists. I am going to currently make it such that only list members can perform this command.
I consider a company a bunch of lame hoarders for doing this. This is the worst thing I've seen happen in the Linux community in a long time.
Sheesh, you don't see RedHat et al. pulling stunts like this.
I'm extremely annoyed. Like I don't have 2 million other better things to do...
