The etiquette is the standard that I follow, it encourages this; it is stepping away from that etiquette and thus results in "good bye": http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/273297 Consider that each time you tell some user to not CC or so on the ML, you're actually sending an extra mail to a ton of people yourself; whereas the mail telling that ignores the subject of the thread, please consider to do this in an off-list reply with positive words. > I'm trying to help you by telling you this.

And others try to help me by telling the opposite; so, when two groups of people tell you to do something that conflicts, which one would be picked? Well, pick the one that respects our etiquette; and along that, the same one guarantees that my time is spent wise. Similarly, would you spend time to keep asking this everytime it happens by one or another individual or just simply filter it once and for all? -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
