On a high traffic mailing list "form over content" is essential for ACTUAL EFFICIENCY. If posts are always properly titled, trimmed as much as possible, bottom posted, threads not hijacked, OT threads asked to stop immediately etc.... both learning (even from the archives) and giving help become much EASIER and FASTER. That's it, whether you like it or not.
[snip] Quite right!! I don't have time to read all the mail that comes in daily when a thread isn't easy to follow, that is someone posts at the top and fouls it all up. Mail not properly posted gets ignored......I don't have time for it. It's really a matter of common sense. Fred -- Paid purchaser of ALL SuSE Linux releases since 5.x
