So maybe I am going to be flamed for this!! ONE: I am observing that most of the people on the list do not have idea on how to start a new thread. They just hit reply button and over-write a new topic in the subject line. Unfortunately this leads to the message being recognised under the original thread and the causes total confusion. Those who are not using threaded viewing on their mail readers are missing a nice feature. Without getting personal think of Mairu's mail "[ilugd] gOTTA play Video" yesterday that appeared in middle of "[ilugd] how many?" thread. And so on....
TWO: Top posting is as common irritant. This robs the reader of essence in which the posting is being done and one has to read the context posting below the message and re-read the top posting. I know there always is debate about this but it is essential. See the mails of Raj / LL and how easy it is to place the context by proper use of [SNIP]'s and bottom posts. THREE: Many people just hit the reply button and add their 2 bit without even snipping the original post. This results unnecessary bandwidth. In extreme cases people have hit reply button to digest posting resulting in the whole digest of ten~twenty messages being forwarded when one line of one post was being commented upon. Look at the guideline on ILUG-D http://kandalaya.org/guidelines.html Thank you for your patience. -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
