It's nig-picking like this that makes some people not want to use mailing lists.
I should have treated such portions of this thread as spam and just deleted
them, but I had to say something. Not a day goes by that I don't see some
loud-mouth criticizing someone for top-posting, starting a thread on a previous
topic (when a previous post is required to continue the same thread and they
don't have one) and other very trivial matters that have no place adding to my
piling up inbox. I know some of you who are contributing to the nit-pickiness
of this list feel you are helping someone, but it only gets flamewars started
about top/bottom/inline posting, starting new threads and other craziness that
we don't need on this list. Things like this only serve to intimidate people
who have valid questions or valid answers to questions but are afraid to ask or
contribute because they feel they will be criticized for a little something they
did that was considered wrong instead of having their question answered or being
considered helpful for what they said that helped someone resolve an issue.
Leave the bugfixes to the package maintainers rather than trying to fix every
trivial bug in someone's email post.
