HTML vs plain text, SUBJECT headings...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This list is quite busy. Consequently, some members would like
to skip over topics which do not interest them. 

However, posts which are titled "no subject", or bear "archive, bla, bla, " 
may get deleted, because they do NOT indicate proper content.

Furthermore, it makes it downright difficult for new members or
those seaching via google to find the relevant answers to their
queries. 

The result, of course, is that the same questions keep being
asked over and over, ad nauseam, because the answer is lost
in a broken thread or "no subject" post.

On the subject of posting in HTML: it is accepted practice NOT to
post messages in a newsgroup in this format. One good reason being
*security* ... not to mention it is the favored method of SPAMmers.

... just  heads up for those who *are* posting in HTML and / or
not including an appropriate subject line.

respectfully,

Elton Woo.
