Oh? About what? I'm serious. You snipped the context too, so anyone coming across this post will have no idea what we're talking about, unless they've been following the thread. > For people following the thread I > think it was pretty obvious what he meant and for people searching the I noted the mysql/postgresql flamewar in passing. I didn't bother to read it (it just wasn't relevant to me). Now, some nitwit posts one line, prefaced by an irrelevant Subject: line, and I'm supposed to know what he's talking about, or it's my responsibility to dig into the archives to discover the context? Why? One of the main reasons I read these lists is I might be able to help someone with problems they're having. Encouraging bad behaviour on the list is just asking people like me to find some other, less irritating, way to do that. BTW: http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/ "When replying to messages on the mailing list, do not send a carbon copy (CC) to the original poster unless they explicitly request to be copied." My .sig explicitly says not to Cc: me, and that's ignored too. Why am I forced to explicitly request not to be Cc:'d when that is list policy? Because people are slack and can't be bothered to learn the rules anymore. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
