Welcome. But no, it's poor netiquette to reply to another thread to start your own. When you do that, your message should have reference headers linking it to that other thread - the result being that threaded viewers (such as web based archives) will frequently interleave your thread with the original one, This causes confusion for people looking through the archives at a later date - or using a mail client that does this threading (as many do). So it's just a matter of good netiquette to always start a new thread by creating a NEW message in your mail client. Typically the list address will already be known to your client so after the first few letters (ie start typing "shor") it is likely to autofill the full list address. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list Shorewall-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
