Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] Thank you - please refrain
I agree, also helpful when replying to include the
original message and the solution.

Robert,
I strongly disagree. Not trying to start a flame
believe that the acknowledgment that a solution worked is far more than a common courtesy. It lets the person who made the suggestion know that he understood the problem. It also lets others know that the solution was valid. When someone references the mail archive, if they find a "Thanks it worked" at the end, that would be very helpful.

Hi all,
Since this list gets plenty of traffic, I would
request that people refrain from posting messages
just contain things like "Thank you for the help", or "Thanks, your suggestion worked".
It's not that I am generally a rude person :-) but these types of messages seem to be basically a waste of
war here, but I like to that people's
time, and other resources...sort of like this one ;-)

Hi! (Late as usual, I know :-> I was away from my keyboard for a while) Trying to kill the keyboard, cruel@rocketmail.com produced: [Thank-You messages clog up the list -- no they don't]
I agree, also helpful when replying to include the original message and the solution.
It would also be helpful if all the not _absolutely_ relevant stuff was *not* quoted: See above how I digested ~65 lines into one. Signatures and so on need not to be quoted. It does seem to help the flow of reading when you have quoted parts followed by the answer you write (see this post) and not first the answer and right at the bottom of it the question ... -Wolfgang -- PGP 2 welcome: Mail me, subject "send PGP-key". If you've nothing at all to hide, you must be boring. Unsolicited Bulk E-Mails: *You* pay for ads you never wanted. Is our economy _so_ weak we have to tolerate SPAMMERS? I guess not. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
