Don't send them spam. spam is send to a large number of recipients; I don't see how what is discussing here is doing that, apart from extending this discussion. It's not arrogant; it's a technical difference, which sets up different approaches. That's why developers are requested to follow the etiquette. > The ones who wish to participate will stay on the list and the ones > seeking for an answer can browse the archives. People that participate maybe are on the list and the ones seeking for an answer might browse the archives. > Please respect other people. Here's something that works for the both of us: Request someone to not CC you in a follow-up mail when you catch them do it, they'll respect that; that's a guarantee that we can be certain that you are subscribed. That way; you respect that I want to spent my time to be guaranteed to be useful, I respect that you don't want to be CC-ed in follow-up mails. Similarly; if someone is off-list; it takes a single mail to keep me from sending additional mails. As it clarifies a disengagement; that unsubscribing is meant to be a disengagement, I can't find that rule... -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
