we are not on news, here but on a mailing-list. I can't affort to keep on my computer the ~200 mails I receive a day, so I counted on the names given on the mail I anwsered.
I have about a year of SuSE-Linux-E archived and it takes up about 160 MB. Surely you could keep up to a month's worth?
The name was not that important, I think the one I wrote for did recognise himself and Patrick wont be too upset by this mistake :-)
Continuity is an important aspect of a conversation, don't you think? I think we rightly expect people to understand the context of the conversation to which they're contributing. One aspect of this is fairly aggressive trimming of quoted material. This is because we expect people either to have followed along or to have caught up before adding their part. Of course, mistakes happen, but it's reasonable to expect people to be paying attention.
