I have two comments regarding the Posting Guide:
(1) The link in the following sentence did not work for me:
Take care when you quote other people's comments to respect their
rights, e.g., as summarized here[a].
[a] http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/policy/copyright.htm
Has it been changed to the following?
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/copyrightissues.html
(2) Regarding the following extract
`If you feel insulted by some response to a post of yours, don't
make any hasty response in return - you're as likely as not to regret
it.'
wouldn't someone who is `as likely as not to regret it' be indifferent
between sending a hasty response and not sending a hasty response? The
intent is perfectly clear but perhaps `you're _more_ likely than not'
is a more probabilistically correct expression?
Thanks for the helpful document -- it is useful reading for this list
as well as more generally.
Thank you, Scott.
I've made both amendments that you've proposed above.
The 2nd one is most probably more helpful for non-native English
readers/speakers may .. when it may be nice and better style for
some flavor of real English ..
