Usually I don't take part in formal discussions. I am replying here, because I don't want the project lose interested people by filtering posts based on formal aspects. > On Thursday, June 30, 2011 2:44:26 AM UTC-7, Cédric Krier wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > It seems there is a lot of new comers on this mailing list. > > So I want remind you the rules about posting on mailing list (netiquette). > > > > http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php > > > > Especially the top-posting rule which is the more annoying one. > > > > If someone continue to top-post, I will take my moderator right and put his > > email address under moderation and only correct email will be accepted. > > > > > > I'm glad you said this.

Is it perhaps a little bit too harsh to point this way to other posters? Please take a look at your own post... Please don't get me wrong: I am a usenet user since very long time and I know about netiquette very well. And since I am usenet user I love RFCs. In this case it is [1]. AFAIK top/bottom posting is/was never part of netiquette as stated by RFCs. Before doing filtering based on other post properties than inappropriate content I would like to emphasize on the following: - It is good bahavior to state the guidelines of a mailing list on the home page of the mailing list. This is neither the case for tryton [2] nor for tryton-dev [3]. - There was never a community process introducing discussion and voting about the intended guidelines. AFAIS there exist different opinions. They should be discussed before taking decisions. Nevertheless I am grateful for each friendly hint to a readable style, which in discussion groups for me is correct citation and appropriate adding of own text below the citation.
