   Tom please stay engaged with user community. May I suggest instead 
the creation of a new list (something like):

	arch-users-technical

    with very, very low tolerance for non-technical (flame) posts - 
simply ban anyone who violates the rules.

   I try to help where I can - such as testing the things in testing 
repo and trying to keep up to date with LKML and sharing tidbits where 
relevant (e.g. iproute2 fix).

   Let's leave arch-general as therapeutic outlet for the flamers. Or, 
alternatively,  just leave arch-general - and adjust as above (banning 
those who engage in inappropriate posts).

   I too left fedora no too long ago to join the Arch family (was a user 
since Red Hat 3) and truly enjoy the calm, technical, polite and focused 
discussions on arch.

   The Rolling release model is near perfect ... and Arch people are 
truly knowledgeable and friendly. And, with some small exceptions, 
polite and helpful.


   I am slowly moving all my installs to Arch ...


   You guys are great - don't let the small number of noisy ones destroy it.

P.S. I cc'd you directly Tom, in you have already left arch-general - 
hope that's ok.
