Just a plea, please. Good netizenship and all that.
Please look at your Subject line before you hit Send. Is it relevant
to what you're posting about? Will that "subject" be of any use six
months later when somebody wants to search for help on the topic
you're discussing?
An example is the current thread about puzzling behaviour by !Alarm
after last weekend's change back to GMT. The subject line,
inappropriately, is "Ro 5.22 on Iyonix".
Seems that on Oct 25 somebody started a new thread by "replying" to an
old message on a completely unrelated subject dated July 23.
Yes, I did post a query which is now resolved as an issue with Alarm. I'm
sorry if this looks inappropriate, BUT my most recent previous posting WAS
about 5.22 on Iyonix, sorted with help from this user group as a Boot
problem. Nothing on the machine has been altered since that posting, and
when I started having Alarm problems on the 25th I suspected it might be a
residual issue from the Boot/ 5.22 upgrade.
That is why I went back to the original posting - I thought the two
problems were probably related. A machine running Alarm, yet asking me to
install Alarm, is a confusing situation which in my limited experience is
probably Boot-related, and which I had never experienced before the change
to 5.22
I quite agree that a subject line should appear relevant, and apologise if
you still consider my decision to refer the matter back to the previous
issue to be inappropriate..
Please don't do that! If it's a new topic, please start a NEW THREAD
with a new subject line.
Thanx.
