> Ok, you are right:) Now that Craig and Bodhi seem to have reached a meeting of the... minds? ... <sigh>
Always remember how harsh this all-text medium is. Shout your written words in a nasty voice and you'll get an idea how they come accross to others. Bodhi, first you needed to know that one of the bugs in the current list configuration is that HTML encoded messages conceal the list footer from people viewing the message, no matter the settings of their mail software, unless they are viewing the message "source." Thus only plain text messages display a visible footer, and those make up only a large fraction of list traffic. That may have tipped you off to the need to offer a little hand-holding with your too-brief but seemingly sensible instructions. While Craig *was* being all those things you listed, at least a little bit, your message to Joanne/Floyd came across as a bit critical, seeming to assume they had ignored the plainly visible information normally in the footer and should have done better... Perhaps not your intent, but indeed your effective *tone*, to which Craig responded. So it's always fairly safe to temper our answers to *any* question with a little extra measure of loving care in this environment, no matter how it was phrased. Not only does a plain-text medium amplify every concievable edge of sharpness or rudeness in our words, the list software sucks. <grrrr> In any case, it never hurts to assume that the person asking really *does* need the answer, and deserves all care and consideration until their continued behavior proves otherwise. Sorry for setting a trap like that. Let's do what we can to avoid falling into it in the future, please. Oh, and Joanne/Floyd, if you're still reading, I'm about to process your unsubscription request. You should be okay.
