Hello Robert. When you posted about getting errors I mentioned that I would
like you to send me a copy of the errors you're getting. I haven't heard
back so I do not know if you got my message about it. So if you are still
getting errors, please forward them to me showing me the entire header list.
Thank you.

Hi Robert,
Just because you didn't get a response to a question doesn't mean the
message doesn't get posted, not all posts get replies. Which email client
do
you use? You can always sign in to the list and start a new message there
in
which case it will definitely get posted.
Regards,
Sieghard

I admit I have been guilty of this. It started when I recently began
getting
failure messages stating that the list did not exist or that I had spaces
in
the address. When I check the address there were no spaces. For example,
I
have asked twice about the problem I am having with find my friend and
have
yet to see a response.

Subject: Moderator - A note about hijacking threads
Hello all. This is just to remind people that it's not appropriate to
hijack a thread. You can read about what hijacking threads is from the
links at the end of my message. Basically if you hijack a thread, it
means that you open a message which is talking about an iPhone GPS
app, then you reply to the message, erase all the contents, leaving a
blank message, and write to ask about a suggested cooking app. You
change the subject to reflect that it's about cooking and you send it.
For those of us who use an email client which properly handles
threads, such as the iPhone mail program, Thunderbird mail, and many
others, what happens is the following.
You see a message thread with 15 messages. You are happily reading
about GPS, and tapping next over and over, then suddenly while in the
same thread, the discussion is about Cooking apps. We are not talking
about morphed subjects where one subject slowly changes to another one
and people change it to update the morphed thread, we are talking
about a cold turkey change. Then someone else replies about 5 messages
later and it's not about cooking apps, it's about gps apps, basically
the original thread. So, in reality, the 15 messages which you thought
was a lively discussion about gps apps, was maybe only 5 or 6 because
of the hijacker who decided to do this, rather than simply starting a
new message, giving it an appropriate subject, and sending it along.
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but hijacking a thread is lazy. Please
don't take this message as a sign that messages shouldn't be posted to
the
list.
By all means, post away messages and discussions about iOS products,
but please don't hijack one thread to put your own completely thread
in the middle. The links below explain this further.
