Indeed, and given the power of modern email systems and handling it is not hard to set up filters. As others have pointed out, many did that back in the days when lists carried many times the volume that this one does today. Personally I consider these meta-discussion to be every bit as important, if not more, than the technical Q&A, which might be more appropriate on a StackExchange model than a mailing list. Sorry, Simon, I'm not a reductionist, I'm not obsessive-compulsive. I consider the "social niceties' to be the cushion that makes the brutality of computers and information processing liveable. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
