If a message is sent off list to you, it is unconsciousable and childish to sent it back to the list.
and about *your* actions "on list", ie: failure/refusal to follow list standards/ netiquette?
On most lists that would get a suspension of privledges.
and you would be known as an "aoler", but that probably pre-dates your eight-year-old addr.
Thanks
I'll also keep that in mind. Never the less, returning private email back to a list would normally bring a suspension. It is more than a violation of netettiquite. It's a violation of basic human decency.
Maybe some partner search service has such policy, but on public mail lists is more common to consider sending private email as violation of privacy and most of them prevent list users from knowing other party email address. You communicate only to the list server, and if you have complains you can address list administrator or moderator, not the other party. On this list is not forbidden to send unsolicited off list emails, but it is the recipient right to decide how to reply, direct or to add CC:mail_list, CC:list_administrator, or anyone else. This is just a common sense that applies to any unsolicited email.
Should we call Rick Moen and ask his opinion?
As you can see we can handle it. BTW, your signature block is annoyingly long. One of the longest I have ever seen. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
