[Ilugc] Communicating in lists
Hello, Part of doing FOSS is to learn to *communicate* --- as a writer *and* as a reader. While writing, one should make one's best attempt to say things as clearly, logically and briefly as possible. Punctuation and formatting are important as well. The writer should be trying to reach the reader. As readers, we should make an effort to try and understand what is being said. In particular, this means that we should forgive all errors of the above type---if we can get the meaning. The reader should be trying to read the mind of the writer. In both cases, we need to spend more *time* to read and to write. The writer should use the "save as draft" key until you have time to put in the effort. The reader should use the "next" key until you have the time to read carefully. In brief, if you don't have anything to say, don't say it, if you don't like what is written just ignore/delete it. Instead of spending so much energy on deciding which *language* we can communicate in, we should spend some time on communicating!
