MDP> Dear Alexandre, MDP> @11-Jun-2004, 09:06 +0200 (11-Jun 08:06 UK time) Alexandre Vialle MDP> [AV] in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Robert: AV>> well I thought version 2 would be better. Now I wonder what will AV>> happen to me next... MDP> this: MDP> <moderator> MDP> Note: This moderator's interjection is a note to all readers and not MDP> just to the person being replied to, even if their post may have MDP> instigated this reply. Please don't feel singled out Alexandre. Why should I? MDP> This posting violated the list rules regarding top posting. Oh, this sounds really bad. I didn't feel like I was violating this list's rules. In fact I was much more preoccupied by my problem, rather than any rules rape. But please accept all my excuses. MDP> Top posting, i.e., typing all your reply text at the top of your MDP> message and following it with all quoted text below, is not MDP> encouraged and we actually request that you not do so on this list MDP> because MDP> a) It makes it difficult to glean context from what you typed at the MDP> top of the message Oh it's true, using the scroll bar on the right side of a window is such a hard thing to do. I can understand really. For my part, I bought the Microsoft IntelliMouse with a special button rolling on the middle that helps you for this particular purpose. It works really great. I think this is a great thing to have to read anything, web, pdf, mails, source codes, etc. And most of my active colleagues agree with that. MDP> and MDP> b) It encourages excessive quoting. Oh I see. For my part I was not too good at school with summaries, this probably explains your remark. Also, I have no difficulty to type on a keyboard. It can be endless, even to say nothing. But I'll make a special effort for you. MDP> We would much prefer if you quote just that much of the message to MDP> which you're replying, so we know what it is you're referring to, MDP> and then below the quotation, type your response. If you're MDP> responding to more than one part of the original, then quote each MDP> part separately and follow each part with your response. Just like I do now then. MDP> Now, I know that you may not personally prefer this format and that MDP> you may disagree with some of the reasoning here. We very much MDP> respect this. Wow, thank you, I was not seeking respect, but at least I have that. As you can see now I sort of respect your preferences too now, most of them, so we are all very happy now. MDP> However, this is the format that most of the active members here MDP> prefer and all members are expected, and are being asked to use MDP> the format that will make most of the active membership here MDP> comfortable reading. I completely understand. But how active are they since they don't want to type, and don't want to scroll? For my part I much more compare activity with movement. No, I'm not only talking about the movement of the eyes! Fingers can move a bit too on the keyboard and at least one arm and one finger can move on the mouse. But the most important is the brain activity, this means the most active members are not in a deep coma or dead. :)) And for a comfortable reading, I recommend, silence, a pillow behind the neck, a bucket to urinate and a perfusion of water and glucose. :)) MDP> You'll likely get a more responsive group when you post using a MDP> style that is comfortable for them to read and understand. Oh since I already have the answer to my question: "The Bat is not the reliable product I thought it was", I wont annoy anyone here anymore I swear. I'll just uninstall The Bat, unsubscribe to this list, and let "the most active members" between them. Oh and I forgot to thank you very much for your respect, it goes right to my heart. MDP> To find out why these MOD messages are posted to the list instead of MDP> private mail, please read the welcome message you received when you MDP> subscribed. No thank you I don't care really. MDP> :'='':'' Oh this little sign is pretty. Is it something "the most active members" enjoy too? MDP> Thank you. I did nothing really. But thank you for the respect again :D MDP> </moderator>' Do I have to sign like this too? Well maybe the most active members do, so I'd better do it not to hurt them :)) </terminator IV> Cordialement, -- Alexandre ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
