Hi Charles, it looks like that private notices about netiquette do not work for you. So after sending you exactly 3 private notices this year, 10 private notices in the last year (and 7 in 2003), I have decided to send the first public notice about Netiquette in our project to you. The rate of new vs. quoted lines in your e-mails is very low. Today, these rates were 2:20, 2:32 and 2:132 (without greeting and your signature). It is 0.015. Very low quality. Typical e-mail from you looks like this one: http://native-lang.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=4958 Two new lines and *completely* quoted previous mail. Do you see the absurdity? Your typical e-mail also looks like "Thank you, ...". Please read e.g. http://www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/netiquett.html#ME or http://www.our-kids.org/Archives/email_netiquette.html which is directly linked from our project guidelines for mail (http://www.openoffice.org/ml_guidelines.html). Could you please follow the mail guidelines of our project which you are part of? Guidelines are at http://www.openoffice.org/ml_guidelines.html, I'm citing the relevant parts of mail guidelines for you: > Long messages probably will not be read in their entirety. The basic > rules are "think twice, post once", and have consideration for your > reader. and > When replying to other people it is customary to intersperse your > response with their questions, both so you can answer the actual > question that was asked, and so everyone else has some idea what you > are talking about. It is also customary to limit your quoting to the > minimum possible to get your point across. Take the time to be > considerate, remember those subscribers who have slow, expensive > connections. You give bad example to newcomers :-(( Yes, this maybe is inpolite from me. but I was and still am very patient, believe me. Your attitude slows people down in their work for our project and this is unacceptable for me. You can slow down yourself (in fact I'd be more than happy to see only one "thank you" mail per day or so), but slowing down others is *very* inpolite and simply unacceptable for me, and thus I decided that private notices are not enough. -- Pavel Janík int i; /* this is an integer counter */ -- Michael Meeks about overcommenting ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
