I had got the vibe that it was unacceptable to mail people directly and not cc the list. Is this response correct that there are times it is acceptable to exclude the list. GregKH has had to nudge me twice for doing this so I am very hesitant to write any emails that are not in the clear (cc'ing a list).

Someone reading your question (and the suitable answer) later on might wonder if the answer was correct or not. So yes, it is always useful to reply with a "thank you" if the answer was correct and useful. > > thanks, > Tobin.

list etiquette
LKML list etiquette question. When asking a [simple] question that receives an suitable answer is it correct etiquette to reply with a thank you email or is this just adding noise to the list? thanks, Tobin. ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
