[Mageia-discuss] Mailing list migration: this list is closing

Mon Apr 8 00:53:33 CEST 2013

I'm afraid this move is sounding very Apple-ish or Microsoft-ish.  
+It comes across as rude and arrogant towards anyone who does not want
+to toe the company line for whatever reason.

+ That will push away some users from subscribing, and some existing

+
+ What if we really do want to subscribe with an address not listed
+anywhere in the mageia account? Meaning, we intentionally do not want
+to use the email address listed in out account page?
+ I am one of them.
+
+ I have personally 100 -One Houndred- email aliases. Almost every time
+I need to register somewhere, I create a new alias. if the entity
+where I registered starts to misuse my address, I can easilly stop it
+by removing the alias.
+ It's also an easy way to sort incomming mail.
+ Many people do this.
