THANK YOU! i've made that observation before -- that the only reason folks can give for top posting is to deal with what shouldn't be a problem in the first place. no: two wrongs don't make a right. and now, a humble suggestion. we have these flame wars way too regularly. and way too regularly, we get this laissez faire, "well, everyone has their preferences, different strokes for different folks, live and let live" nonsense. here's a solution -- can we post the mailing list etiquette rules somewhere under fedora.redhat.com? that way, any time some dimwit joins this club and decides he likes his personal way of doing things, he can be pointed in short order at the *fedora*-approved etiquette list. at which point, that should be the end of the debate. can someone at redhat arrange something like this? basically, i'm as tired of these discussions as everyone else. and, no, i don't *care* how you did it where you came from. rday
