Re: [WSG] Guidelines reminder - attachments/caps

2004-04-09 Thread David
Hello,

Yes I agree to the no-attachments/all caps policy but
I object to the use of my country of birth Nigeria as an (bad)
example viz
You may also end up getting weighted towards
 Nigerian bank 
 spam by some types of filtering packages :D

You may end up getting weighed towards spam by some filtering
packages would have sufficed without hurting anyone's feelings.

I love web standards, CSS, WSG and this very helpful and
informative list and I know there are people out there who are
giving my country a bad name but do we have to rub it in? We
have a lot of nice honest folks in Nigeria including yours truly
you know.

...Sorry everyone if this is offpoint just had to get that off
my chest! 

David.

 Hi all
 
 Just a quick reminder that the guidelines for the list are at 
 http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm - one of
 these includes 
 a no attachments policy. If you want to send a screenshot to
 someone 
 please do it off list - I'm pretty sure Peter doesn't want to
 send out a 
 345 kb email to 500 people. It's also a kludge to download for
 those on 
 dial-up.
 
 Also, using all CAPS to write a subject line can lead to
 readability 
 problems for some -  try writing the subject as a normal
 descriptive 
 sentence. You may also end up getting weighted towards
 Nigerian bank 
 spam by some types of filtering packages :D
