Sorry Michel. I'm a bit of a traditionalist. Vortex has been without prefix since I signed on around '96 with no issues, complaints, or problems. Everyone here is reasonably savvy to handle separating the wheat from the chaff so you are correct that a lecture on standard mailing list practices would be a waste of time... and probably regarded as condescending to most.
I don't mind change if there is really some value added, but respectfully I just don't see it with this one. Sorry about that. My opinion nothing more. War? over this? that would only continue this silliness even longer and I haven't the time or interest for that kind of nonsense anymore. Bill is welcome to do with his list whatever he likes. We are all here at his whim. -j -----Original Message----- From: Michel Jullian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 12:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]: Put a [Vo] tag in the message Subject line I said why a filter, which I am not too lazy to setup (I have about 20 of those), wasn't nearly as good as a prefix for a mailing list. This is standard mailing list practice which I am not going to further waste my time to explain to you. REs and FWs getting put in front of the prefix are standard too. Note Bill had been planning to do this for quite some time as he told us. Is this OK with you or do you really want to start a war on the topic?
