Try Dawson posted a note about the Scientific Linux mailing list on
July 1, 2011. I am posting part of his note here because I see some
new "faces" who probably have not read it. Also for those who have
been on the list for a while, this is a reminder.

Hello,
The scientific-linux-users mailing list has always been a place that
people could go to for technical help.  It is supposed to have fairly
low traffic, and it has had that for quite a while.

I know that we have recently had an influx of new SL users, and so it
is expected that the technical questions and answer go up.

But we have also had a very high upswing of *frivolous* emails.

(snip)

This mailling list is for people to bring questions about Scientific
Linux, and hopefully they will get answers.

There was a comment by Steven Haigh who suggested using the SL forums:

I would also suggest that people wanting to continue the whole posting
style debate or just general things not specifically related to SL do
so on the unofficial forums.

Here is a good start:

And a follow-up by John H. Outlan who oversees the forums:

That's fine. But any rudeness will result in a ban. That's why we are
there in the first place. Just kill 'em with kindness ;)
