I can create filters for my mail. I was just taken aback by the flood of vague and wildly varying messages. I think I'm spoilt by spending my time on less general mailing lists. ;)
It beats me why anyone would send a message without a specific subject line, and without specific information on computer type, OS, version, problem etc. How can they get a useful answer without supplying this information?
It would be like ringing up a mechanic you don't know, saying "Hey my car doesn't work.", and hanging up.
The mechanic is left wondering, "What type of car?" "Which model?" "What went wrong?" "What were you doing when it happened?"from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do)
