No.  Kindly re-read what I said.

No, that is not what was posted at all.  Kindly go back and re-read.

It was a notice to listadmins of Mark S. Bilk's attempt to reply to John
Regan's 'Help Occupy Oakland' posting to the svlug at lists.svlug.org
mailing list, in which Mark had changed John's Subject header to 'Linux
vs. Fascism' and escalated the conversational rhetoric into one of Mark's
typical frontal assualts on All That Is Wrong Politically and
Economically in America and the World.

> I replied to a topic that was already posted to the Volunteers list.

_I_ posted the listadmin notice to the Volunteers list.  The listadmin
notice contained the entirety of Mark S. Bilk's attempted posting (which
he tried to send to svlug at lists.svlug.org) about All That Is Wrong 
Politically and Economically in America and the World.

You feel Mark's posting is appropriate for _this_ mailing list because
it's 'about Linux' [sic].  OK, it's already been posted to _this_
mailing list.
