Of course, this is the last list message on this issue by me (until someone screws it up again :-) ).
If someone does, and you feel the irresistible urge to correct it, do it *off list*. There is absolutely no reason to waste more bandwidth by creating yet another thread on netiquette. History has proven that it doesn't do any good anyway. The only person likely to read it and be corrected by it is the person you're flaming, so you'll get the *exact* same result by correcting him off list
There are *many* repeated threads on subjects other than netiquette that could be construed as to 'waste more bandwidth'. At least this action has the potential to improve the list environment. Why would only the concerned party read the post? Why is providing information *flaming*, even if it is instructional? In the case you present, I believe that you reach false conclusions. -- Patrick Shanahan Please avoid TOFU and trim >quotes< http://wahoo.no-ip.org Registered Linux User #207535 icq#173753138 @ http://counter.li.org Linux, a continuous *learning* experience
