Exactly ... if ... and it's a big if ... they still remember the old post. Which is something you may fairly safely assume in personal conversation but not on a mailing list.

And it was a much better period. Fuck newspeak and fuck political correctness. Rose, the same as shit, under any other name would smell the same. Change the smell, not the name! Otherwise you may go on changing the name every twenty years. > There was a period when it was OK to follow that old netiquette > that said that bottom-posting is the good way, but now it isn't.
