Hello,

Yes I agree to the no-attachments/all caps policy but
I object to the use of my country of birth Nigeria as an (bad)
example viz

"You may end up getting weighed towards spam by some filtering
packages" would have sufficed without hurting anyone's feelings.

I love web standards, CSS, WSG and this very helpful and
informative list and I know there are people out there who are
giving my country a bad name but do we have to rub it in? We
have a lot of nice honest folks in Nigeria including yours truly
you know.

...Sorry everyone if this is offpoint just had to get that off
my chest! 

David.

[WSG] Guidelines reminder - attachments/caps

2004-04-08 Thread James Ellis
Hi all

Just a quick reminder that the guidelines for the list are at 
http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm - one of these includes 
a no attachments policy. If you want to send a screenshot to someone 
please do it off list - I'm pretty sure Peter doesn't want to send out a 
345 kb email to 500 people. It's also a kludge to download for those on 
dial-up.

Also, using all CAPS to write a subject line can lead to readability 
problems for some -  try writing the subject as a normal descriptive 
sentence. You may also end up getting weighted towards Nigerian bank 
spam by some types of filtering packages :D

Cheers
James
