in the last months I've seen many mails with the same topic (or identical) addressed to several lists - this is a pain for several reasons, but my main concern is about where or how to answer these question so that if there is a reply on list A I don't have to send the same reply to list B (or C)! also, if somebody else replies on one list (only) this will not be visible on the other lists. this also means that I will never have a reliable overview of all the answers concerning this item.
the problem can also be observed with issues on the tracker list - if an issue is being tracked, new answers to a list will not automatically be added to the tracker (and vice versa). is there a rule how such items should be treated? should we try to formulate something in this direction? eg. if a user asks for help on the user list and we find there is a bug with it, the discussion should go to the bug list (or maybe to the dev list). now the discussion goes on on the bug list - do we have to double everything to the user list? I don't know if I'm the only one with these "bad feelings" but I certainly would appreciate if this inflation could be stopped. another problem (maybe specific to Nabble): I have replied to many items and these replies didn't make it to the list - are they lost, will they appear later? sometimes I get warnings of Nabble alerts that my reply has not been accepted yet - but in fact they are already on the list… any contributions to this? thanks Eluze -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/flood-of-mails-with-same-issue-tp33454680p33454680.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - Bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
