Re: Policy on the list
is it correct / useful / polite to close a thread marking it as [solved] or something like this, or it's just a waste of time / space / ? I think it could be useful, so other people wanting to help don't waste time trying to give further advices, and people needing help in that subject can see that the problem has been solved. I'd like to see a wrap-up post, with '[solved]' in the subject, and including what the working solution actually is; that way, someone searching the mailing list archives can quickly home-in on the solution... And remember, a search of the archives is pretty-much mandatory before you post for help...or sure enough, someone will jump all over you! :-) ~Dan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Policy on the list
Hi list, just a little question about how to behave on the list(s): is it correct / useful / polite to close a thread marking it as [solved] or something like this, or it's just a waste of time / space / ? I think it could be useful, so other people wanting to help don't waste time trying to give further advices, and people needing help in that subject can see that the problem has been solved. I don't know the official list rule (guess I could go read it) but I like to see a message noting something is solved and some info - a brief summary on how it was solved. I don't think it is a waste of time unless you go on and on with personal details that don't really pertain to the solution. jerry Thanx, -- Pietro Cerutti [EMAIL PROTECTED] Beansidhe - SwiSS Death / Thrash Metal www.beansidhe.ch Windows: Where do you want to go today?

It's nice, IMHO.
