The rant isn't addressed to you. Sorry of that wasn't clear. As a rule, something marked as <rant></rant> is a general comment inserted as an aside because it happens to be relevant to this particular post. > Cause I often got the impression that HK does some *magic* sorting. > My comments often appear incoherent somewhere in the thread without any timely flow. > even if I do a full quote and clear the hole quoted text it seems HK looses track. > > you/we can see it right now in this comment: in HK it appears that I'm replying to my self: see the first line ! I don't look at HK unless I need to consult the archives, and never use it to post if I can avoid it. This mailing list is (as the name implies) a *mailing list*. That's how most people interact with it. HK is (IMHO) a misguided attempt to merge two modes of communication with different traditions and expectations. I was much less annoyed by the old archive format, which was easier to search and had the advantage of *not* letting you post directly. However that's getting OT. > Often I need to click "Show replies in by date" at the top of the thread to sort it *halfway*. > > That all bugs me too !!! > and -btw- a edit function would be a win too ! > > P.S. > I'm thinking about using a mail client. > I guess the advantage will be a starting line in my comments of: "who wrote what when" ! I would encourage you do that. Any half-decent MUA will do. I use Evolution, others people use Thunderbird, Claws, Mutt etc. It doesn't greatly matter. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
