Hi Ralph,

Why are you writing to me? It might imply I did send you this email in
the first place. Even though I did not, I concur with the original
author although I'd like to phrase it differently:

Please ask only Linux audio hw/sw development related questions here.
When answering, please stick to your expertise. Stop guessing,
brainstorming and spreading FUD.

Joern formulated this once like this:
  /* before sending mail */
  if (i_know_what_im_talking_about()) {
    send();
  } else {
    discard();
    sleep(3600);
  }

Some of your comments or OT discussions would have been better on LAU
(where most of the Devs are subscribed as well). I fail to see how you
are involved in developing any linux-audio application, so please
refrains from posting here.

As you can read on the description at http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/
"The linux-audio developer (LAD) mailing list is the place to discuss
and share in depth information concerning design, development and
architecture of linux audio related Hard- and Software. It's a fun place
to lure and learn. yet, take your time and think before posting there:
This is not the list to report generic linux audio bugs to developers."

Replying to your own emails N times and doing so quite often is not only
very bad netiquette, but annoying to many serious contributors here. If
you can't resist: write a blog.

Let me repeat an earlier advice which seems to have not sunken in:
Please read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
in particular don't skip the "A wrong but authoritative-sounding answer
is worse than none at all." section.
and from http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1855 aka "Netiquette Guidelines":
"If you are caught in an argument, keep the discussion focused on
issues rather than the personalities involved."

To answer your question:
The list-admin for this email-list is Marc-Olivier Barre and he can be
reached at linux-audio-dev-owner@email-addr-hidden
If you want find out if an email went to the list, check the
list-archive: http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

..or simply the email-header because IIRC the list does not accept
emails to it when it has been BCCed.

ciao,
robin
