John, this style of quoting is terrible. It totally lacks proper attribution, and should never be done that way. Has caused severe trouble in the past, is easy to get wrong and result in heated fights when content is misattributed. You've seen that in the first reply to that message of yours, just think what longer threads would do. While I appreciate your intention to help communicate a point, please consider using proper attribution in the future. There is a convention how to quote other people's text. (And yes I'm aware that many users are not aware. Heck even many mail program authors either don't know or don't care. I know that it need not be your fault or intention, but nobody is forced to follow bad practise either when there's proper procedure that is as easily available.) The message that you refer to was sent to the list, so it's in subscribers' mailboxes, as well as in the archives at https://sourceforge.net/p/sigrok/mailman/message/37297430/ virtually yours Gerhard Sittig -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you. _______________________________________________ sigrok-devel mailing list sigrok-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-devel
