Dear all, I use a threaded news-reader and as a result, sometime the conversations on this list are harder to follow than they could be. Could we please look at drawing up lists to solve what I see as the following issues:
1. Starting new threads. People start a new thread by replying to an old one and changing the subject. This makes for incredibly difficult reading of topics as don't know where one stops and another starts. 2. Subject lines. There have been a number of posts recently with subject along the lines of "Please help", "Need quick advice" and "You have to help me do this". Please try and have information in your subject line, such as "ASP C# Forms Submission Problem" or "ASP DataGrid problems when selecting from XML document". They may be much longer, but for those of us who just scan subject lines, it is far more useful to see if we can help. 3. Top-Posting. Unfortunately Microsoft decided that Top-Posting was fine when they released Outlook. It makes a mess of the conversation, note the following example: -- This is -- -- What's wrong with top-posting? Please visit http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/ and, if you can, install this great little bit of software. Let's help return the internet to standards-compliant in our emails as well as in our web-design. 4. Finally, the post about falsifying experience on your CV really wound me up. I've only just got to the point where I feel I can respond in a civil manner. In my opinion, faking experience is Fraud. You are saying that you can provide something that you cannot. Although the people who have already commented on this issue are correct - it will be obvious after a while - if you are working on a real-time system that affects vital data such as Health-Informatics or Flight-Path Data, your fake CV could be responsible for the deaths of a number of people due to flaws that you have programmed into the system. I am currently trying to find a job here in the UK. My CV is brutally honest. I am having difficulties, however I will not resort to falsifying the evidence to get a job. Anyway, enough from me for the moment, please take the above into consideration and hopefully we can all live happily together and turn the web into a nicer place to live... :) Matt ------------------------ Yahoo!
