This is the last message I'm gonna say on this subject because I know it'd
be very annoying if we get in to massive discussion about it, plus I'm not
the one for flaming on list nor is it my attention to do something like
that, but I couldn't agree more about thank you posts. Sure it is nice when
people get help from people on the list here and I'm sure that soe people
love to show their apretiation, but for someone like me who gets lot of
mail, there's nothing more irritating than seening a huge number of mail
just saying "thank you". True, it hasn't been happening much at all on this
list, but it's just something to bare n mind.

Subject: [access-uk] Re: Moderators request once more: Subject naming
Barry, I've tried to observe good netiquette in this field, as when I posted
this morning about the Dailly Telegraph Bootcamp series, which would have
sat oddly in the middle of a conversation about backing up Outlook files.
I find it equally frustrating when a thread starts that I'm not greatly
interested in, only to mutate into something entirely different that I am
interested in, except that, by then, I've decided to ignore it and it passes
me by. Like most here, I cannot, and do not read everything. I thought,
and I might be wrong, that when a subject line is changed one should mention
it in the body of the text, at the start of a message, and I will own up to
not always doing that.
I often take the liberty too of lopping off the earlier parts of a
conversation that maybe go back days. One of the pains of 'top posting' as
I belive its called is, not just reading the conversation backwards, but all
the greater than or other indent signs you get as you move down the message,
not to mention the seemingly enldessly repeated group message at the end.
That of course eventually makes the message too long to be accepted by the
server, or for those apparantly in digest mode, although I don't quite
understand the last.
One final moane, and please list owner, don't come back at me and say
'boring' but surely most here can send thank you messages off list. Well,
that's what I tend to do.
