I am not sure whether we should say that top-posting,lack of context and thread hijacking/recycling are violation of list rules. They are certainly things which make mailing list experience subpar, and probably that is the intention of formulating some sort of guideline[1]. [1] http://wiki.linux-delhi.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/MailingListGuidelines But it is a guideline nevertheless. Also, if you look it up, it doesn't even mention top-posting and proper quoting inside it. You can mention it as a netiquette [2]. [2] http://wiki.linux-delhi.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/MailNetiquettes Just because someone is not speaking your language is no reason to throw the book at him/her. In classic mailing list/newsgroup behaviour, everyone has the option of ignoring what they feel is uncouth behavior. But if there are people who can have a conversation with such people and can provide value to others, I am all for it (even though I might never participate in such discussions). Let's not commit the classic Indian mistake that permeates every part of our social existence - lets not make rules which we know is likely to be broken and is therefore unforceable. Lets look at more realistic rules. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya http://blog.sandipb.net _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
