Hi, Lisi Reisz wrote: > Lisa's one. That just disappeared!! Given the redundancy in the replies i'd say this is fake protest on fake spam which actually wants us to visit http://go.tua.one/tQkUb. The spam replies to message <slrnnibi5q.3o0.curty@einstein.electron.org> a legitimate mail to our list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/05/msg00010.html Of course one can easily hijack a message id for sending spam with debian-user as fake sender in the hope that people fight back. But how probable is it that everybody who bothers to answer to the list writes a single line of top posting ? Or maybe it is just a troll who wants to take advantage of all the semi-dysfunctional mail providers and clients which are disccused here. --------------------------------------------------------------------- It's time to hijack this thread. 1st of May.

A man is a man who will fight with a sword or
conquer Mt. Everest in snow. But the bravest of all
owns a '34 Ford and tries for six thousand in low.

You see, these days, here on Canadian West Coast, most of people, especially young people, use "guys" for both guys and gals. And it always seemed to me that gals were promoting this change more actively than guys. I actually personally do not like the change much and it took me some time to get used to it. And now, when I'd used it just without much thinking any more... Bingo... You got me. :-) It looks like people at your place still use two distinct terms. :-) Where are you?

As this is an international list, who knows what sensibilities might be aroused by this or that term in reference to this or that gender and its eventual mutual exclusivity. As far as here goes, in mixed company, the masculine form takes precedence (which may or may not have anything to do with anything). -- Hypertext--or should I say the ideology of hypertext?--is ultrademocratic and so entirely in harmony with the demagogic appeals to cultural democracy that accompany (and distract one’s attention from) the ever-tightening grip of plutocratic capitalism. - Susan Sontag

"Guys" can indeed sometimes be used as the common gender, and it is "man"kind. But I object to "Sirs"!!! Lisi

While I agree with the general principle, "guys" doesn't really work in mixed company (most women definitely do not want to be "one of the guys"). "People" probably works better. But it might give one second thoughts about using the word "guy" at all if one knew the origin of the word: It comes from Guy Fawkes and originally referred to his effigy traditionally hanged on Guy Fawkes Day.
