i read many mailing lists and the suse-linux-e mailing list sticks out in one annoying aspect - and that is, people quote all messages when replying and then someone else quotes the original and the reply and his and so on. there are messages on the list of depth 7 - so less than 10% by average is actual message text.
please take care when including the original message when replying. it's a fabulous tool to establish context for something you have to say, but it's not there to make multiple and more multiple copies of emails here and there.
thanks for your time, martin
Dear Martin. I entirely agree with you. But L/x folks love reading text mixtures - or could someone possibly explain to me why one has so many locations to search for docs? e.g. /usr/share and then the howtos, minihowtos a.s.f.? I cannot figure any sense there and consider it severely annoying
