I think it's a good Idea to provide those with kind of guidance or recommendation who don`t know better, and want to express their respect to the attention the audience invests in their request.

I hacked it together after nobody wanted to volunteer, when I setup that footer entries. So doing the footer thing brought me more work which could have been done from someone else with no special permissions and skills. It *intionally* is a wiki site. ;o)) [..] > Eventually I hope that LO will actually include a link to general > posting guidelines on the > <http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/> page with complete > posting guidelines. +1 on that > Even if the final consensus is to only top post... > at least will help with consistancy on this (users), and the other LO lists. I think this is not a matter of conensus but more kind of recommendation, how to save the readers effort to catch the message and use the time saved to give useful comments. ;o)) > Added Note: I'd originally sent this to the users list as IMO that is > where the guidelines are needed most. definitly. > So there may be some cross posting in replies. No "genuine" crossposting so at least consistent threads per mailing list. The better lazy way :o)) Regarding the "learn to quote" and similar posting guidelines of that kind: They are collected experience of efficient mail/newsgroup communication over a long time - nothing more and nothing less. Long stories could be told about this topic - I try to make it short: As one reading a high number of mails a day and one having project experience (since 2003 OOo membership included) enabling me to give answers at many places, I mostly skip mails which show me the poster doesn't worry about my time and effort reading his post. So I rise my daily range about 50 mails, reading and responding the ones of those writers which show respect to my effort.
