As someone who lived through The Day when AOLers were given usenet access in 1994, I understand the breaking of etiquette. However, arguing about etiquette shouldn't take priority over helping others on or-talk. As someone who lives in the world of unicode by day, stating that everyone should use ascii seems archaic to me. Using plaintext over html or rich text, great; we agree on this point. Tor is used, supported, and maintained by an international group of volunteers. They don't always converse in English, nor do a subset even know how to do so. I know from working with Farsi speakers, their English is far superior to my Farsi. I make horribly offensive mistakes when trying to converse in Farsi; the recipients merely correct or switch to English in order to converse. Trying to make non-native English speakers understand fairly esoteric etiquette rules is difficult. A little understanding about different customs is all that is needed. I'm willing to forgive mistakes so long as the signal far exceeds the noise. -- Andrew
