Re: [WSG] Farewell (was : Out of Office)
I can understand you... it's annoying. 2011/12/16 Philip TAYLOR p.tay...@rhul.ac.uk Just to let you all know that the number of out of office messages has now reached the point where I feel I have no option but to leave the list. Goodbye, and it was nice talking to you all.

Re: [WSG] Farewell (was : Out of Office)
I agree, I am leaving this group as well due to this. Also with the recent threads crying for help from those having problems installing software and PHPMyAdmin trouble shooting problems should never have been on this mailing group in the first place. Nice talking to you all.

RE: [WSG] Farewell (was : Out of Office)
Why not create a rule to filter out messages with out of office in the subject or text of the message, instead of leaving the group, entirely.

Well for a start, if you had such a rule you wouldn't have received his message. But if that worked, why not just do that in the list software itself instead of having several hundred people install identical rules on individual mail clients?

Re: [WSG] Farewell (was : Out of Office)
'tis the season for folks on mailing lists to clutter everybody's inbox with discussions over out of office replies cluttering their inbox... recursion? self-fulfilling prophecy? In fairness though, picking up on the other topic: Marvin, as much as we sympathise with the difficulties you may be experiencing in getting inaccessible systems etc installed on your own...that's not quite the point of this mailing list.

Especially given that List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm tells everyone to Turn off 'read' and 'delivery' receipts and vacation messages. These often bounce back to the list and cause many unwanted posts (offenders will be unsubscribed) So how about making good on that threat, please, list admins?

Re: [WSG] Farewell (was : Out of Office)
Yes... the topics have gradually been getting more off topic. We will step in more quickly in future. Apologies all! Thanks russ On 16/12/2011, at 11:04 PM, Patrick H.
