I've never heard of "top posting" and > the concept of it being bad, most modern email clients actually > force you to top post so its habit. No, they don't. Note that Gmail isn't a real mail client. > Why don’t you guys use a forum like PHPBB, surely that would stop > these frustrations? Because forums suck. Digests don't work. You can't batch-download updates. You have to login to interact. Email is simply easier for ... just about everything. I can use my smart phone for this mailing list without any special software, and it's okay if my browser's javascript engine sucks because I'm not using it. If you like nntp better, you can use a mail-to-news gateway. In general, the ASF supports mailing lists for communication and not forums for the above and many other reasons. (Honestly, if we were to move to a "forum" format, I'd lobby for using something more like Stack Exchange since it's a great platform and rewards members of the community for submitting useful answers.) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSZGPMAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYf4kP/jH6oz3LF3mWMZvFqtF7XTd5 gRmXKXnSaz33VDPLUDpTLRSPdraYrvJG/DKK0MLESdil0bolBLxRqRz8azNB6gTp cSSPizPlj5rDA3GRrOi0Cgqtkh1HR2MYTPQM/Re5dOdFSGEJfv5GAOV5ciF/Dyq8 LffoNPg6igwt407NC5B9Xyj30DzOYgVxwzsQyY3nPf/rnFoIN2C7DwyCr4Orn0ID oYEBVOVLnw0nGzKhdbQgkPpM2VDE7isCNse0gu6+Swvo7OnEcWJCa2V6JXo6/vK4 +FjXPBuoDyfxMUnftRfkbKANGG+RF0x3z8i5aNb3DYKXuIU6oTg9eIDoUzGszQLu RWtEV1KUX7BewjkttUOgdBJ6ROS8kzMD2YLP6rF50osbV1Suf9kKTwUcwlyHUMMt fxYP8k5HeCyD6cWjb74SSY1yB3D00IisH97Ciw4jTz2EgbUx3Dn98wBSECiMB9+l nyAiLv8grRBxH0o8sIlIddpOPLE5/fZR6LU6QbaypEggYIJ0xALKZNNqOKXmwjcS mLe8gQXbDjje+0Wk1uA6HOYHmo3XeIC3nubvrBrkftu5PTgfzPmy4g8oOEE3Ck4B c0yheH7q0suGP8dS1BfzQuXh7YsG2m3RbqTsqBc1ZXFvpheUQ9208tHpClbiPwWB 3bafhN0jVGZhOv+0kuUv =ATq8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
