HI, Regarding the discussion of LyX's safety I'd like to make a few remarks related to ... ?list etiquette? Not sure what the correct term should be, but it ought to be clear below. Really long threads: Are we really ok with threads containing upwards a hundred posts? Perhaps at some point it's necessary to simply start the thread over? Thread splitting: I've tried to break off topics into separate threads, but it _seems_ like it's mainly me doing that. Or maybe it's how the gmail interface presents the thread to me? Is it something we're not doing anymore. Should thread splitting be avoided, or should we try to do it more? <rant> I'm using gmail's web interface these days. This might be why I'm finding it difficult to efficiently follow threads that are so long. - The gmail labs thing I used for replying to parts of an e-mail is no longer working. - Sometimes the replies don't go to the list. *sigh* - I haven't figured out how to mark a single e-mail as unread, e.g. when I feel I need to reply to it later, and instead have to mark the entire thread. This does _not_ work well for long threads. </rant> Are there other things we could've done to do the discussion more efficiently? Using a wiki page for security topics didn't seem like it's (so far) helped anything. Would a LyX document in git have been better? Or a plain text file? /Christian
