Re: [ns] Why do we have this group?
Fine, I suggest two method we can follow 1- All reply for all. 2- All relpy in perivate and then the person who was asking the question, gather the replys and forward them as an answer of that question (we will only have one collected reply). //may be use a tag in the subject of the reply mail as {ANSWER}.

Re: [ns] Why do we have this group?
Hi, The problem with the latter one (i.e., when a questioner gets the answer, repost the answer back to the mailing list) is that the person who's got the answer may not forward the answer back to the mailing list. Even when you have the rule written say in FAQ, new persons who recently joined the mailing list might not know about the rule. Then, they would not forward the answer back to the mailing list. In my opinion, reply all with a simple tag [ANS:NS] or something like this might work. People will know that this email message is an answer to a certain question. Those who do not care about the answer can immediately delete it. They may event get their mail client to delete mail whose subject contain [ANS:NS]. But we need to come up with an agreed-upon tag for answering the question. Note that one drawback of this approach is that there might be too many email about the reply, which might annoy our members.

Re: [ns] Why do we have this group?
Hi all, I agree with Teerawat, the replay to all with special tag is more efficient , However we can define special tag for different questions : For example I have noted that most of the question is related to the problem of installation : ns2.29 on ubuntu , on fedora , bad version of gcc.. I propose to add [ANS:Install:NS] for replay to problem of installation [ANS:MAC:NS] for mac questions and so on ... if I am not interested to reply or read to one category I will just have to delet them easily by creating folder.

Re: [ns] Why do we have this group?
Hi Hadi, Thanks for the support. I understand that you'd like to make tag more specific to fit the readers' need. However, there is a wide variety of question in this mailing list. For example, - Installation basic NS2 - Installation of patch (which some people don't even know that they are patching their NS2. They think that they ran into weird problems.) - Segmentation fault - Including new protocols - No-slot (classifier) errors - OTcl and C++ linkage (e.g., evalf, resultf,...) - Protocol specific questions (IEEE 802.11, Energy, routing, etc.) These are just few examples I've seen over past year. If we assign a tag to each of the categories above, before long we're gonna have to maintain a long list of tags. Now the next problem is that the anwerers will have to remember the exact words of the tags to conform with the standard we are trying to set here. Another problem is that with more complicated tag, you cannot ask your mail client (e.g., mail rules in Apple mail) to automatically delete the mail which contains a certain tag (e.g., [NS-ANS]). Anyway, thank you for your thought. I hope we can help each other make this mailing list a better place.

Re: [ns] Why do we have this group?
I agree, I think we should go with the first option otherwise I can tell you that it will be not likelky a person will sit down to collect all the answer and send it to the group.. lets face it, laziness plays a factor here. However when a person is answering the question, it is very simple just to use reply all rather than reply so we will definitly get more answers. Making the tags more specific is definitly good idea but I agree with Teerawat, it is not easy task. I like the idea of ANS in the tag it is simple, direct to the point and enable filteration. I gotta tell you, knowing the answer is much better than being flooded with questions with no answers. My thoughts... Lets make it better. I can already see Erico replying all which is Awsome! Some questions were interesting to know the answer for.. this is just my personal experience.

Hi, I answer to people in this group regularly (as much as I can). But usually, I just do it to avoid others who have to receive the answers which are relevant to their interest. There is no guideline on the use of this mailing list. If there is one and it says that most (if not all) answers should be replied to ALL, I'll be glad to do so. What do you guys think?
