Washing of machine owner database

Hi,

I just received this email as it seems that [email protected] is still an alias for me, which prompts the following remarks: I haven't been doing any work on the p-l hwdb in the past 5+ years I think so maybe that alias could be better used otherwise, and I think that aside pruning the stuff that spammers have put there, it might be useful to make that website/database read-only... :-)

HTH,
T-Bone

Hi,

I had a quick look at the machine database and concluded that you might want to wash your database a bit.

Have e.g a look at "Owners of this machine" on this page;
http://hwdb.parisc-linux.org/view.php?type=3Dmachine&name=3DK100

Just thought I should mention it.

Thanks

Thanks Thibaut!

Personally, I'd just delete anything related to "owners" from the website. I'm willing to do that if there are no objections. Initially it was useful to know who had particular HW. Now we can just post here to ask if someone can please test on the necessary HW (e.g. pa8800 or Astro chipset or 712).

cheers,

ps. Kudos to Karl for pointing out the abuse.
