[wplug] Global Linux Meeting March 7 Sat BerkeleyTIP -Global - For Forwarding

Wed Mar 4 09:53:28 EST 2009

Does anyone on the list have interest in this kind of stuff?

It doesn't bother me too much, but... if there's a majority opinion that we
want to politely unsubscribe ourselves from future BerkeleyTIP (I have not
idea what that is) message, we should do that.
