Just some replies to others info on the thread, and on this message: - Yes, it's recurent to read "You break thread" or "Don't reply directly to OP" ... IMHO, it's because this list is about Debian, but about /How to use a ML/ too. - Errare humanum est, but to make a big mistake, you need a computer ;) - I don't recommand Gnus for newbies, even if Gnus is GUI configurable. But I think it's really important to enlight (is this a real english word?) mechanisms hidden by GUI. If someone is not interrested, he/she can skip the text and focus only on the answer. If he/she is interrested, it's a way to learn. - It's not about making selection, just about trying to explain people the way ML are working, and if they can learn more on their MUA to do smarter things. Your assertion "We are leaders, progs are tools" is only true if you know your tools, and it is adapted for your work. I'm not a leader on a car, I'm a danger ;) I now will stop on this thread, to avoid making too much noise. Sorry for the already-done noise. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
