The fact that some people are bothered by getting 2 messages only shows a lack of organization on their part.

or perhaps a failing on your part to observe this list's posting expectations, re: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette#Personal_and_mail_li...

The list isn't setup that way. I've been on lists for well over 10 years, and its quite possible for a list to set it up to do what you want. If the list wants to set it up that way, the the list maintainers should just do it. When people use mailers they have the option to respond or to respond to all. the most common option is to hit respond. Lists that WANT responses to go to the list, simply change the 'respond-to' field to point to the list. That's NOT what this list does. The policy of this list is that responses goto the person who wrote them. That's the policy of the list as dictated by the list software -- it is the ultimate decider of where things go by default. Quoting webpages that have nothing to do with the email standard (which predates HTML by quite a bit), is irrelevant. If you want my posts to go to the list by default, and not to you, then change the list software to reflect that -- otherwise, you are just some random user pointing to some random web page, who has nothing to do with the actual running of this list. If you change the list software, then it's clear you do have something to do with the running of the list -- and guess what -- I wouldn't even notice. I'm just hitting reply, and making sure that my reply also goes to the list, if necessary, by adding a CC. So don't complain to users about the default policies of the list because they don't match what some random web page has written about how the creators of that web page "want" things, is on the level of trolling. If that was really the policy of the list, the list would be setup that way. So either fix it, or stop complaining. ---

I believe it's time to pop-a-top and enjoy an amber refreshment!

on this we can agree... But please -- believe me -- it is certainly easier to fix the list once than to try herding a group of cats, er, fix a bunch of humans to follow some unrelated webpage that none of them read. Technological fixes are so much less divisive. -l -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
