I don't think there are any 'rules' local to this gentoo-user list. While it is important to maintain good email behavior on any mailing list it's also important to be accepting/forgiving of newbies who aren't blessed from the begining with all the knowledge of 'netiqutte' that we are. "Be broad in what you accept and discriminating in what you send." (I don't remember the exact quote.) Threads that degenerate into flamewars over trivial things like top posting are usually pretty amusing^H^H^Hboring anyway. Justin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
