There should be a recurring reminder of the mailist and Gmane list rules. There are many who are new to mailists and have never had the experience in group mailist etiquette. Some people find it annoying/frustrating when people top-post, quote whole passages etc. But we should be happy that there is so much participation. It just means that we need to every now and then send out a gentle reminder of the rules. I think that the "Mailist etiquette -- gentle reminder" should be posted every now and then by the Mageia ML maintainer just to add a little formality to the message.

Mailist etiquette:

- English language only please on the mailist
- no top posting please
- when answering, please quote the relevant sentences that is being replied
- please do not break the threads. Do a proper "Reply" from your email agent and your email will be "nested" with the right discussion thread. - please do not hijack threads by "Replying" and then changing the "Subject" line of the mail

The exchange of ideas makes us all grow. Mageia, the magic continues.

Marc
