Understanding the issue you raised i followed Marius Nestors trail to some
of his details.

here
http://news.softpedia.com/editors/browse/marius-nestor

His average article seems to be 3-4 a week - not all about Ubuntu but almost
all about Linux.

Its clear that he is posting new articles about "Ubuntu Linux"  which per se
is list acceptable which also means that he is conscious about what article
goes to which list :-) , unless he has a way of filtering articles to
certain lists.

Yes this list isn't a replacement RSS feed - but as of now I am personally
ok receiving these ubuntu specific mails.

I agree with you (manish) on 2 points though
1, Not providing a link to the original is not a good idea - in fact that
would be the minimum we accept
2. technically his is not a blog - however it would not be good to have
bloggers post their articles - without ever participating in other
discussions. The list ain't a free advetisement boards

so if the real Marius nestor were to stand up and say hi, here i am and i am
not a bot it would be a good step.
