RE: [hlds_linux] [OT] spiders/bots and email archives
I like Brian's Sig it shows creativity and art in the form of ASCII. If you have a problem with it, then go else with it. You are probably envious because you can't have a sig that looks like Brians. I use Outlook 2000 and it shows up just fine. Thanks, Daniel Reinhardt I vote the guy with the stupid sig off our island. Oh wait, were we voting or just telling people to go else with it? God damn Outlook users. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

But I'm also aware of many articles discussing how outdated those guidelines are considering the avg connection speed at the time those guidelines were published compared to today. Are you complaining about the amount of data I require you to download or do you have some other reason for the flame? Honestly, I *AM* curious as to exactly what your beef is. For me at least, download size is not relevant. I don't know what others might object to but what annoys me to some extent is that when reading maillists I use space to page down through the mails and automatically jump to the next unread message when I get to the end. Nonrelevent extra text makes it take an unnessecary amount of extra clicks to get past the BS and to the next mail with information worth reading. Your sig will add about 1 extra such click, which is mildly annoying when you see it for the 50th time, however it is nothing near the annoyance of the 1 line post containing 300+ lines quoting of non related text from 4 previous posts. What it all comes down to, the more you try to stick to the netiquette guidelines, the less annoying you are likely to be depending on how they like to view maillist. So while some of the technical reasons for the netiquette are no longer valid, many of the general rules based on user interaction still is :) -- /Stefan Software never has bugs.
