Re: [Savannah-help-public] Mis-posting to gnuspeech mail list

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi,

This URL:

 http://www.nabble.com/Removal-of-my-posting-openSubscriber-td12569520.html

is not hosted at Savannah. We do not have any power over it.


I think you need to contact the nabble.com maintainers. Nabble is a
service that mirrors the content of some mailing lists, including,
apparently, the gnuspeech mailing list. We (Savannah) do not have any
link with Nabble.
