Hello folks, i'll probably get flamed for reviving a very controversial, yet consistently brought up topic. I have seen a similar thread last year, and every other day, someone points out to someone that top posting is bad. I was off the list for a while, and now when i came back, the story is still the same. I know top posting is bad, and i too sometimes preach people to avoid it. But from what i've seen, most of the times, people don't bother, or simply don't know what's wrong. Instead of having top-posting related mails in every thread, there should be a better way out. I suggest all of the top-posting haters should including one of these links or similar in their signatures. http://idallen.com/topposting.html http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html Also, we can have a forum and mailing list etiquette drive for a few days, with mention in the arch linux news, the mailing list, and setting it as the topic in the irc channel also. I know this is probably overkill, but it'll probably inform a lot more people about these issues than some stray posts in every other thread. PS: Since arch is always ahead of the other distros in adopting new stuff and bringing about change, let's be the first ones to spread some netiquette. -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org
