The wording is "discouraged" in the guidelines page. I do feel that the newbies have to be reminded (gently though) that they need to change their habits. I see this happening in the Chennai ILUG mail list; over a period of time most stop top posting and over quoting their messages. I generally mention this in the passing when I join any thread. > Frankly, I am tired of the "restrictions to post" on PLUG, and as a > result don't even consider attending the monthly meets, or post useful > information. I hope the list owner(s) and moderator(s) will take this as constructive feedback. Being a member of many mailing lists, I can say this is the only list where I feel unsure if my posting will get through or filtered to the moderator. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
