I sometimes receive mails off-list abusing me for mails other people did

Here I did wrote this mail, but as a reply to this topic. So please, if
you don't like me folks, abuse me for stuff that were my crime.
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(a)lists.linuxaudio.org
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
[ yet
more irrelvant mindless crap! ]
How does the external ear exactly work? Perhaps it's part of this
function, to reflect sound.
Absolutely nothing to do with Linux Audio Development Ralf, ... please
