Nobody has been insulted :-? I don't know what kind of information a user receives when is subscribed to the lists because I'm not "subscribed", I just follow them, read and post (this is an open list, no need for subscription). Anyway, it's normal for mailing list newcomers to be unaware of these conventions, that's why I usually "politely" note that html formatted messages need to be avoided and also top-posting when I see a bad formatted post. Worth to remember that common sense is the best of the rules. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
