I think that the gripes happen pretty infrequently and especially with a
subject line like this thread has, they are easy enough to ignore because it
is obvious that they are off-topic. They do serve a purpose in that they
help to educate others as to what appropriate use of the list is. Some may
not be aware that they are annoying others. That said, if I could add some
of my pet peeves to the list:
Posts filled with letters substituted for words - i.e. 'u r doing this
wrong'. I know it's anal of me but I find it annoying and hard to read.
Cute, but how hard is it to type the whole (short!) words? It gives the list
an AOL chatroom full of teenagers feel (no I don't hang out there, but I
have teenagers at home!). English is my first language and I hate to see it
mangled that badly. It also gives the poster an 'uneducated' impression.
Anybody who codes should be fairly good at keyboarding, so this shouldn't be
necessary.
Posts that don't put have a subject line.
Posts that just say "Thanks!" or "Do I know you?" or some other
acknowledgement that is irrelevant to 99.9% of the readers.
Posts that contain excessive content of previous messages and list footers
copied 99 times. (I'm probably guilty of that sometimes!).
Aside from all of that, the list is awesome : )
