Err excuse me Jacques, glug-chat is precisely for this. Glug-tech exists 
for the more serious stuff. This has been repeated over and over a 
thousand times on this -chat list. -chat implies you are gonna get a lot 
of chat traffic answers. The -tech list is much lower traffic, more to 
the point and serious. You should really consider joining it if you 
don't want to partake in the -chat list or the traffic is getting to you.

Yup you completely missed it.

Yup Glug-tech is exactly what you need. Don't look for answers on a 
chatting list and then complain about the traffic - you could tell this 
a chat list from the list email address.

Lastly you really may want to consider following linux mailing list 
rules - ie bottom post, they say its a mission in Microsoft, but if you 
snip where necessary its not that hard. Especially if you are gonna join 
the -tech list for the more serious people and very little to no chat.

eish!

Steve
