mailing list etiquette pedantry above valid communication.
Well the problem is that people think those rules are here just to annoy
people about aesthetics when it's precisely about "valid
communication", or how to make a discussion followable by someone else
than it's own authors. Mailing lists are a particular medium, how are
you supposed to understand and make a "valid communication" if people
alternatively put their replies on top and below, and without only
quoting the sentences they are replying to. It's also a question of
respect to all the other readers and writers. When we need to repeat 3
times a week about those rules, it just shows that some people only care
about their own posts and never even read posts from others (that might
concern them), in other words, using the ml just like a private channel
or some sort of impulsive microblogging.
Also i don't understand why some find the time to complain about rules
that are can't be easier to understand, and if not, have absolutely no
inconveniences and cost nothing to comply to.
