I'm going to stop spamming now.<BR>> <BR> I know as being fairly new to mailing lists that there are rules</DIV> <DIV>that you should adhere to for everyones sake, but most web based</DIV> <DIV>email clients automatically set you up to write at the top. So i think it </DIV> <DIV>is important if you are new to read the ettique page posted. Top posting</DIV> <DIV>just makes it difficult to follow a thread you have not done so from the</DIV> <DIV>start, therefore it is helpful if people post new material below the message</DIV> <DIV>they are responding to. I know i have been a top poster but as you read or take</DIV> <DIV>part in longer and longer disscusions it becomes more obvious how it is</DIV> <DIV>needed. A couple of comments maybe but a disscussion like tonight, if no</DIV> <DIV>one top posts people can just pick the last subject of that name and read the whole</DIV> <DIV>disscusion from top to bottom.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also there is not using a diff subject name for a change of topic, but its all on the</DIV> <DIV>ubuntu ettique page.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I know I am guilty also, but its not that its a big deal, it just makes life easier.</DIV> <DIV>especially if like a lot of us you subscribe to several, if not many, lists..</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>James</DIV><br /><hr />Live Search: New search found <a href='http://get.live.com/search/overview ' target='_new'>Try it!</a></body> </html>
