Just my 2c as one of the others who doesn't generally reply to what, |
| 36 |
at face value, seemed an awful lot more combative/trolling of a tone |
| 37 |
than actually useful (disregard != compliance on the internet), |
| 38 |
fighting on the topic of 'proper use of mailing lists' when you're |
| 39 |
standing in stark contrast to the configuration of the mailing list |
| 40 |
you're using to do it, and in the process, telling everyone (many of |
| 41 |
which have been around here helping other users for many, many, years) |
| 42 |
that they're wrong for using the list they've been using in the manner |
| 43 |
they've been using it... when I see your name appear the first time as |
| 44 |
long ago as last Dec., is rather on the arrogant side at the least |
| 45 |
(I'm not certain if you've been around -dev or another longer, as I |
| 46 |
don't believe I'm subscribed on that one). If you're really hellbent |
| 47 |
on getting the configuration of the list changed, feel free to take it |
| 48 |
up with the person who configures the list, rather than approaching it |
| 49 |
by being condescending to the people who consistently use it. |
