Message-ID: <20080829105608.GG8555@sgi.com> Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2008 05:56:08 -0500 From: Robin Holt <holt@....com> To: jmerkey@...fmountaingroup.com Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCE] mdb: Merkey's Linux Kernel Debugger 2.6.27-rc5 released Can this _PLEASE_ move to a different list? I feel like these hourly spam postings of 30 patches is really getting excessive. If people are interested in mdb, go to the mdb list or project page.
