since i found that an amusing analogy and somehow feel i should be the
one to make official rules, here goes:

i don't care about these things! i'm too old to find source code
formatting or email etiquette a matter of life and death! i like to
think that people have enough content to transport so they are writing
an email in the first place. time permitting i'll read through a lot
of random formatting because i'm interested in the content.

more seriously this is the spirit that i think made darktable what it
is. we've been very loose at allowing source code formatting and
coding practices into the repository, too. and while often times that
brings technical debt and some parts do look terrible, it also brought
a lot of very useful features very quickly. for code this is probably
something we should be more strict about, but for communication i feel
less inclined to force strict rules. fwiw i agree on what people said
here wrt politeness and cleaning up the email before sending.

right. i think i'm lost in the 90s (i like screen/irssi). that, and
bad internet connections seem to have made a comeback with those
computerised telephones that everybody seems to be carrying around
with them nowadays.

so for now i just let the computer decide the file size (1MB) before
sending it out, to avoid discussions in the future. by all means
bother me about it if it turns out to be a silly restriction.

cheers,
 jo
