| I agree the thread is overkill, the first message was not. |
| 15 |
| Stroller's message was polite and included links to educate people. I |
| 16 |
| don't think a private message is the way to go in these cases because: |
| 17 |
| |
| 18 |
| 1: Most people learn about proper threading from these kind of messages. |
| 19 |
| Few ever see full headers or have even heard of "In-Reply-To:". |
| 20 |
| |
| 21 |
| 2: Private-only messages can actually make the situation worse, as |
| 22 |
| anyone looking over archives sees repeated instances of a "bad habit" |
| 23 |
| from different people, but no feedback that it's frowned upon. |
| 24 |

Actually, I agree with you - the messages about breaches of the list etiquette |
| 26 |
should be posted to the list. I don't know what I was thinking when I composed |
| 27 |
that reply... I had actually been thinking that a mailing list FAQ sent to new |
| 28 |
members and posted every so often, outlining the etiquette of the list would be |
| 29 |
a good idea. I do somewhat object to the idea that only certain mail clients |
| 30 |
should be used on this list (not saying you did, but I have seen it), as the |
| 31 |
hijacking of threads may be accomplished with *any* email client - and so can |
| 32 |
private email, reply to list, and compose new message. |

| Pentium fdiv bug? | |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
LOL! You caught me. Someone from another list shared something with me, and |
| 42 |
in the spirit of GNU, I will share it here, and add to it... |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
We are Pentium of Borg. You will be approximated. Resistance may or may not |
| 45 |
be futile, except on every other Tuesday when it is a definite maybe. |

Since this is normally where my reply would go, I think I must say something. |
| 52 |
What happens when a thread about how bad hijacking threads is gets hijacked... |
