well, raw top posting is pretty painful, I agree, though I personally prefer it over raw bottom posting, particularly for really short, simple comments. And if you are adding to a deep technical thread, raw bottom posting is no better, you still would need to write: "With respect to what you write about the GIL issues, ..." Which is why I advocate interspersed posting. It comes down to: please take some thought to compose your post in a way that is suited to the thread and what you are writing, rather than simply use whatever your mail or news reader makes easy without thinking about it. Ideally, for each person that writes a post, a lot of people are reading it -- so be respectful of the readers' time, more than your own. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
