[TLDR summary: Agree with the point but nearly deleted as spam.] |

At that point I was double-checking for spam: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
1) Vague, spammy, subject. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
2) Vague, almost too formally "collegial" "Friends" greeting. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
3) "It would be advantageous"? In a non-spam mail? Don't see /that/ |
| 16 |
sort of formal "distant" wording very often... except in spam! But maybe |
| 17 |
my mailing circle is significantly different than yours. <shrug> |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
On the counter-spam side, how many spammers would be (true or fake) |
| 20 |
gpg-signing? I've learned to ignore that for quick reads (tho could of |
| 21 |
course verify if I needed to and thus appreciate the value), but saw it |
| 22 |
once I was second-looking, and that was enough to convince me to read |
| 23 |
further, at which point I saw that the mail was legit. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
On topic, meanwhile, not that a non-dev opinion counts for too much, but |
| 26 |
FWIW, agreed with the point. I don't do IRC so seeing the acks, etc, on- |
| 27 |
list, would make it easier for me to follow too. =:^) |
