But what I mean is concerned to a kind of "culture" of
communication. This ML tends to be more noisy (of course I already
made unnecessary noise, too; sometimes it happens) than NGs and you
find much more emails with bad quotation. For example, I hate TOFU
because I have to scroll down at the bottom of the email to see that
there's nothing but quoted text. Reading dozens of NGs and MLs the
time for scrolling sums to a significant amount I simply can not
afford. Many articles are posted via the Forum gateway so you do not
see the real name but `'Forum Post'. I like to know the real name of
the person I'm talking to ... But this is an old discussion even on
this list. I don't want to start it again.

Best,
  Christoph
