4) Ok now I have to turn my sights on the oldies here. :-) While mistakes are clearly being made by us newbies, please do bear in mind that in fact they ARE newbies. The angry tone and threats to filter out does no good to the spirit of the forum itself. Give people a chance to adjust. Saying "I do not even answer topposters"... what did that gain?
Yes, oldies are tired of asking politely over and over again to please not toppost. Some people still keep topposting. Stating they they are killfiled is not an angry tone, it is a polite way of ecplaining what you are going to do.
All it does is create two camps in the same list and in essence two sub "invisible" lists where one is filtered and the other isn't.
Filtering is an individual something. If poeple decide to filter me or anmybody else out for whatever reason is totaly up to them. I would find it rude if they NOT tell me their point of view as to why they would do so. Wether somebody replies or not on whatever is also up to those individuals. I think it to be polite to let people know that I do not answer topposters in general. That way they can take action or not. Yet at least they know the reason. houghi -- To have a nice mailinglist experience, follow the guidelines below:
