 Ummm... if you will remember, they _were_ posting to LI - till they were
 booted from the list by Thaths for ignoring requests to add the [commercial]
 tag and harvesting mailboxes from LI-* and local LUG lists to add to their
 mailing list.

 Frankly, anyone and everyone here on the list (and other lists) knows about
 GT, and knows where to find http://www.gtcdrom.com - and if anyone asks where
 to get some foo distro, someone or the other generally points him that way.
 
 As for finding out _what_ new distros are available, there is always freshmeat
 , linuxberg etc ;)
 
 So I dont see the point of the whole thing.
