I find it, said politely, amusing that you would consider it "complete
stupidity" to re-title a clearly off topic reply to a thread. It is a
courtesy to the readers to re-title a thread that has deviated from the
initial topic.
What has netiquete got to do with the original LC discussion? Yes, nothing.
Thank you
Dave
Starting a new subject line and quoting 4 full emails and footers from a
continuing thread is nothing short of complete stupidity really.
cheers
In truth the stupidest things I read on these lists are my own posts. :)
My problem is one of reasons listed earlier and one of the reasons
bottom posting is prefered. Top posts can be very untidy if the sender
is lazy, no reason for editing gives us all this:
Samual Acorn wrote:
reply from the bottom.. nope... prefer not... hit reply and the cursor
is placed at the top along with a complementory "On $date, $user
<$address> wrote:"... and since you replied at the bottom we get 3
messages in one this time... use webmail for list access and learn to
use it? i have... and this is the only list that has gotten its
panties in a wad about top replies... and considering im 'mod' on more
than a handfull of them apparently they have no problems with top
replies... rubbed the wrong way about telling someone to unsub because
they dont like the list content? do you get rubbed the wrong way when
someone tells you to turn the TV off if you dont like what you are
seeing? same difference as far as im concerned... dont like it? dont
download it... nothing personal to that specific user... that was a
'general' statement... and at that i will say now... the 'thin
skinned' of the list would do well to ignore my posts...
cheers...
