So Open Source really then doesn't equate to open mind.

Ummmmmmmm.  That's too bad.


Brian, all that is being asked is that people on this list try to make it as easy as possible for other people to read their posts. The rules for doing so, which are generally accepted etiquette for usenet and lists like this one, have been posted.


It's not a question of having an open mind, it's a question of everyone else having enough time to sort through messy posts trying to figure out what is trying to be said. Please try to understand that people want to be helpful and contribute here, but they have other things to do as well.

If I have to live in a strait jacket why bother to post at all?
(Hint, I hardly ever bother anymore.)

I think the best reason is that there's a lot of traffic on this list and by not following simple rules for legibility and consistency in posts it makes it much harder for everyone to get value out of this resource.


The other reason is that a lot of people will just ignore you if you don't follow the rules.
