Trolling the list with offtopic posts lamenting how you can't post
offtopic posts is also not what this list is for. It's a support list
as you well know. Keep this up and you'll be either moderated or
removed the list.

How long until people realise this list is for technical support and not their own soapbox.

Using it to take public pot shots at me and other moderators will get you moderated too. Feel free to call it censorship but you're wrong.

Contribute to the list in a useful meaningful way or leave. Its as simple as that.

Welcome to the "Al Pope acts like a huge dick" show. Things like this are why people act out, Al. I will wear my badge od censorship with pride, all the while running something else on my servers and desktops. Ubuntu clearly has lost it's way.

Maybe you can (at last and after several years) help me with this
problem:
I have a Visioneer OneTouch 7300 USB (flatbed scanner) that I'd like to
use with Linux. Can you give me any hints at all as to how to get this
done? I have the original CD but it is Winduhs-only apparently.

(X-)Sane, with the driver / backend for chipset : gt6816

From the site:
"Firmware is the name of the firmware file that was provided by the
vendor." That firmware file is, "Cis3r5b1.fw."

I do have the Winduhs-only CD for scanner installation but after
spending some time looking it over I can't seem to find that file
anywhere on the CD.

I do not want anything to do with google.

I don't use google as a search engine - I use ASK, and am now also using
DuckDuckGo (SSL) as my search engine where anything between them and me
is encrypted and not tracked.

I have posted my information on opensuse-offtopic mail list - and quite
a number of people on this bikeshed are also on opensuse-offtopic so ask
anyone one of them to FWD what I posted in oS-offtopic.

But better still, I'll send you privately what I posted in os-offtopic
and you can post it on bikeshed.

I would suggest joining MandrakeOT, then. Anything goes there. Started
off as a bunch of Mandrake users wanting a place to discuss anything OT;
and has evolved into a hangout for Smart(ass) linux users talking about
anything, including politics.

A couple of us use Ubuntu too.

Alan's post was perfectly justified and reasonable. Your response is
not, and that is aside from the profanity, which is very unwelcome.

This is a tech-support list. Basil's continual snide mockery is
getting very irritating and you are compounding the problem.

I am nothing to do with Ubuntu and I have had my own personal
objections to Alan Pope's actions in the past - he was instrumental in
getting the valuable, useful and fun Sounder list shut down, for
instance.

However, in this instance, he is absolutely right.
