Very mature. I don't like his software. I feel that it is, in general, perverse, useless, and/or counterproductive. I also feel that M-F-T falls into the 'useless' category because it is not standardized or widely implemented, and the 'counterproductive' category because people assume that it _is_ standardized and widely implemented, resulting in arguments such as this one. Does my opinion make me immature? > Here's one you can't argue with - Debian mailing list policy: > http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/ Noted. > For one thing, it says wrap your lines at 80 columns or less. As you may have noticed, I do, and always have. I was debating whether or not it's a good idea, but it was a purely academic discussion -- everyone here does anyway. > Also, do not send carbon copies in reply to list messages unless the > original poster explicitly requests it. Done. BTW, as it turns out, Evolution has a reply to list command, and one that seems to work perfectly, but it's quite obscure! Other Evolution users take note: there is a 'Reply to List' command in the 'Actions' menu, and in each message's context menu. > And as my M-F-T says, I'm explicitly asking you not to. In a way I do not, and cannot reasonably be required to, understand. I've gone over this already. Fortunately, I can safely ignore M-F-T anyway; see above.
