similar to: Thread moderation and list etiquette (Reference - Another Fedora Decision)

Hi Jim, Thanks for putting in the effort here. It's never a good situation to have to moderate, but sometimes it is necessary. >From my perspective, this kind of thing happens far more often than the current example, though maybe not with such intensity. This situation forces me to evaluate if replying to any message on this list is going to be worth the headache of the inevitable noise

Just a tag-on for the thread about list posting etiquette, etc., etc. The following is a link to an excellent (if wordy) how-to-do-it-right instruction manaual replete with links to other treatises on the topic. The entire text of this document is emailed to the mailing list on the 1st of each month. This is the Cadillac of etiquette manuals. http://www.linux-sxs.org/index2.html Enjoy, --

Hi, I think the time (150 messages and counting) has come to ask someone of the CentOS team to start moderating this list. I don't mind people discussing whatever topic they like, but not at the expense of the mailinglist and its members. I don't think the topic really doesn't matter in these discussions, and if done in private they would stand for long anyway. I would propose

Is Rails Logger truly not Thread Safe? http://log.kares.org/2011/04/railslogger-is-not-threadsafe.html This seems like an issue that should have been picked up quite a long time ago. I just set config.threadsafe! in my config/application.rb and my log output from rails server has completely disappeared. If the logger is not thread-safe, I cannot help but wonder how much of the Rails core is

What exactly is top posting? I thought that was when someone responds to the very first message instead of the latest one.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears! Or, in this case, your eyes. It has become a problem I've noticed over and over again, that we tend to think the mailing list is some sort of forum, used to post whatever your hearts desire. This list, not unlike any other mailing list, has a purpose. A focus if you will. Hopefully this 'document' will point out some key things we

I'm trying to resolve a problem of Namespaces and probably have misunderstood something basic. In my quantreg package the function crq() has as its first argument a formula that typically contains something like this: Surv(y, ...) ~ foo, where Surv is a function from the survival package which quantreg suggests. When this syntax is encountered in ordinary usage Surv is resolved, I believe,

Howdy folks: Please (I beg you, please!) don't follow the examples of a couple of recent posters. This is very bad form. If you want to get off the list, please don't send send a message to the list begging other readers to help (they can't). Only you can help stamp out forest fires (or get yourself off this list). At the top of every message from the list is a URL that can

Hi I've taken apart a 7960 to fit a backlight to the LCD. Would others on the list be interested in this as a project when I've finished (i.e. should I document and photo all the stages)? Also I can source some 7960's at a very good price but what are the rules about posting this information on the list if others were interested? P

Perhaps, the question is silly. But, I prefer asking it before making a mistake. I have just packed a binary distribution of R for Windows3.1/Win32s. It is equivalent to the previous one for Win95/NT (R-0.61.3 + many of the available packages) and it is compiled with egcs-mingw32 (GPL not a commercial compiler). Now, in preparing the README, I put the following sentence:

Hello, When replying to emails, please remove any lines of the original text you are not replying to, especially if you are bottom-posting, to prevent people from having to scroll through pages and pages of useless quoted text. I would recommend people use inline replying instead of top- or bottom-posting, but as long as your emails look tidy I'll not make an issue of that :)

If you're reading the digest of the Asterisk-users mailing list: * Please always strip the parts of the message you're not replying to - do not resend the whole digest! * Please always change the subject so it reflects your message - Do not send a message with a subject of RE: Asterisk-Users digest, Vol 1 #3413 - 14 msgs It does *not* reflect the content of your message

* Please DO NOT post the same message to two lists. We have divided the lists to be able to stay focused and lesser the burden. You are not raising the chances of getting a reply, you are instead annoying a lot of people. Most of the people on the -dev list are reading all other lists. * Please move all discussions about serviceproviders and other products and services around asterisk to the

Hi all, I would like to know what the proper form is regarding feature requests and inquiries about future features that are being worked on or considered with regards to samba. I understand its bad form to scream demands on the maillist ;-0 Gr Richard

OK guys and gals ... can we please stop all the fighting? When technical questions are asked, they should be answered. I lot of people on this list have something that a lot of newbies need ... experience. So answering a question with "RTFM" or "JFGI" is not going to impart any of your experience ... which is one of the things they need and want. Also ... if someone attacks
