Subject lines was: just a suggestion
Yes, and I generally do this when I change the topic, but occasionaly do forget. I also often change the subject line even when I did not change the subject myself, and even bring this up frequently enough that I sometimes worry that folks will get tired of me trying to correct bad posting practices. Please join me in this crusade so that there is more than one of us to hate...lol In the same vane many people start a conversation with a subject that gives little or no idea as to what is being discussed or what question is asked. I do delete email that does not interest me when I know I am unlikely to be able to contribute any thing useful to the conversation, and often delete imprecisely subjected messages. More often I do answer a person once or twice and give them a reminder about making good subject lines, and sometimes I just answer, but I certainly think spending a few seconds coming up with an explanatory subject for an email is the least one can do if they are asking for help. -- B.H.

Re: Subject lines was: just a suggestion
I think it's OK to encourage people to use good posting practices, but in general, I leave this up to the moderators of the various lists I'm on. I definitely don't say anything though unless it's chronic or I don't think the person is aware of what they're doing. Too much list traffic on posting etiquette can defeat the purpose of using good posting etiquette in the first place, by adding a lot of off topic traffic itself. The other thing I do is appeal to someone's motivation. You'll get more people looking at your message if you use a good subject line and don't hijack another thread. You can only go so far in policing someone else's posting habits, and it's perfectly OK to delete someone's message if they didn't use a good subject line, hijacked someone else's thread, didn't spell check or whatever. There's plenty to read on the web and don't let someone else's poor habits waste your time. On 18/03/16 14:07, B.

Re: Subject lines was: just a suggestion
Of course, explaining the benefits of good subject lines, etc is most of the message, and no, you can not repeat this daily either. I don't like much list moderation, but do sometimes think when someone signs on to a list they should have to answer a couple or three questions correctly indicating that they understand what is expected from posters, and understanding that one does not reply to digest email, highjack conversation threads, nor post messages with subject lines that are more or list the list's name would cover most of it. One thing I've only mentioned a couple or three times in my life that I find a bit annoying in most cases is digitally signing list mil. If you are attaching code then the sig makes some sense to me, but normally it's more clutter tht is a bit more of a bother to blind folk than to others. I was writing rather tongue in cheeck when I used the word crusade, and again I want to stress that I agree with you in that friendly suggestions are the way to go. I'm done with this conversation. -- B.H.

Vinux 3.2.1 is now available for download in 32/64bit in CD/DVD versions. The main difference between this and the recently released Vinux 3.2 is that by default it boots with Pulseaudio running in 'user' mode rather than 'system' mode. This prevents pulseaudio from crashing at boot on a small number of sound cards, but it means that speakup is not available from the live CD or immediately after installation. However there are now two simple commands for switching Pulseaudio from user to system mode in conjunction with a reboot of the machine. This version also includes an accessible zenity front end for Unetbootin which allows users to install Vinux to a USB pendrive with persistent storage. Users who have already installed Vinux 3.2 can upgrade to this version quite easily without having to reinstall.

Hi, My name is Andrew. I am a developer based in Australia. I am interested in contributing to Ubuntu's Accessability. Browsing around the wiki pages I see ideas about voice control and using a joystick as a mouse. I would be happy to take up either of these projects. If their are any other projects/tasks currently going I would be interested. Thanks, Andrew -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
