Well, assuming that you're still subscribed, you've seen the worst of it. Once
in a while a thread does get forked or a flame war starts. Sorry that it
happened in your case; it is not normal behavior here. Nor are malware and
spam a problem (well, not until yesterday.)
We do observe the basic rules of netiquette here. Don't top-post, don't use
HTML, don't hijack threads, keep it brief, and _always_ do some research
before asking a question. You probably are well aware of those rules. In any
event, netiquette (as interpreted here) -- and much more -- is covered in a
weekly newsletter published by Lisa (The Average Jane); it's subject line is
"README: Current Fedora Core 1 Problems & Solutions/Helpful Links". The most
recent issue can be read here:
