Why should I use an external site like JSFiddle when a question can be
answered right here on the mailing list?
Reason which most of us simply don't even bother explaining:
We auto mute (ignore the thread) and never see the conversations that don't
include the JSFiddle link in the first post. And if we don't read it, then we
won't answer and help either.
I'm not sure if I'm reading you correctly...
Are you saying that "most of us" on this list will ignore questions or
announcements without a JSFiddle link, and that this is so obvious that
people won't even bother to explain? I've been subscribed on this list
since October 14th, and I haven't seen any mention of this policy either
here or on the jsmentors.com homepage. We had some problems with lost
messages for a while, so I guess I may have missed it, but from what
reached my inbox, I'm counting five threads where the OP used a JSFiddle
link in his message; three of them were started by you.
I don't have anything against JSFiddle. I will use it when I feel it
could improve communication. On the other hand, when my reply contains
five lines of code (as in the current case), I may decide to post them
inline. Which also has the added bonus of keeping the code and the
discussion together, instead of relying on the availability of a
third-party website.
Arieh mentioned that JSFiddle is a requirement on other mailing lists.
If, as you say, this is also true for the JSMentors list, this should be
mentioned in the mailing list rules.
