Hi folks,
I''ve noticed in recent times on the list that we seem to be getting a
low signal-to-noise ratio with a lot of posts (particularly those
where people include their configuration).
Once you have posted the appropriate information once, there is no
need to keep quoting it unless it is central to the discussion.
Trimming irrelevant material makes it easy for people who have been
following the discussion (but not necessarily participating) to see
the new information.
Please take this message as it was intended: a way to increase the
quality of information on this list and reduce the overhead on those
involved in providing support for shorewall. I don''t want to start a
big discussion, but merely highlight a technique that should be
applied to messages where it is appropriate.
