[Mageia-discuss] Mailist etiquette -- gentle reminder

[Gustavo Ariel Giampaoli]

As I see, most people never read "the manual". They don't do it for
the tv, nor the coffee machine. Mailing list are not the exception.

So, you can put the message in the "welcome mail", or in the web page
(my self, when I have to verify my e-mail I look for the link without
read the mail).

The truth is that we, as member of the Community, have kind of "moral
dutty" and must to tell the newcomers "please, don't top-posting,
please, don't quote the full original message".

Is it fair? I don't think so. But to expect that people read the rules
and follow them is to a little "naive". Most people learn the rules
using the mailing list and forums; and after some "older" user tells
them "don't".

IMHO.
