I don't mind the witty quips. The top-posting bothers me. And it wouldn't bother me if it were only top posting. But some people do the normal mailing list post at the end. Some top post and the thread ends up being a jumble of eventually unreadable squibble. If I want to glean any useful information out of the post, I have to jump back and forth and figure out who is answering who. It really makes for a useless mailing list. I am on several because of various responsibilities and to tell the truth, as soon as I see the jumping around, I skip the post. For those of you who don't know mailing list etiquette, if you are replying to a post, go to the end of the email and add your text to the end of the email. Really it's amazing how useless the information in the list can end up becoming if this simple rule isn't followed.

I'm sure I speak for many here, when I say TRIM the quotes, and consider first whether that damned funny one-liner really has importance in the first place so that it is necessary for others to see. This is not IRC, after all. Oh, and some of us mind the top-posting too. :) I know, I'm such a bore... -- Jaska -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

my turn to say DOH! shouldve put a smiley at the end of that tirade :) i got your humor the first time around, and just answered the same way... you know, if we cant laugh at ourselves a bit, then we dont deserve to point a finger at others.

You are just wrong, accept it!! Lol! I did got the joke but because I have been exposed to american culture since I was 3 (studied in an american school). But the photos you are suggesting of yourself seam interesting, you still have to send them eventhough I excuse you. Luis de Bethencourt On Dec 2, 2007 8:10 PM, D.
