For the non-believers, Matt is correct: http://groups.google.com/group/vim_use/web/vim-information I'm pretty sure this list does not want a discussion on whether it might be better to use emacs, nor do we want to discuss whether top-posting might be good. So I ask doubters to just believe that the above is the list policy. It's been a while since I've posted my pleas for people to follow list guidelines because it is annoying for readers, and annoying to me. With more encouragement (say a weekly "I agree" to show that it's not just my POV), I could resume. In this particular case, I'm happy to accept a fair bit of idiosyncratic behaviour from a person who has made significant community contributions via plugins. But we could be a bit more heavy with casual visitors. I suspect Bram might not favour a "three strikes and you're out" rule, but despite the recent avalanche of the quick-clickers we probably are not yet at the stage of banning people. It might not hurt to occasionally point out that the list DOES have a policy, and COULD decline to receive messages from repeat offenders.
