Hi,
I would also say in support of DJ Paddy that he did ask politely at first to
get users to try and do this, but users were continuing to change the subject
in this way even after being asked politely. When Barry emailed again
yesterday, while most people were happy to learn etc, there was one individual
poticularly who didn't see why they had to fall into the rules, describing them
as geeky etc. I believe Barry's responses were based on the "couldn't care
less" atitude of those particular messages from that one individual.
Thanks.
Andrew.

Hi.
i'll say on this point having things explained to you can be a rarity. If
you ask why people may take the time to explain it but not always.
I agree whole heartedly that it's much nicer and does produce a more
effective result when it's explained rather than dictated but often as not
it's the exception rather than the rule in my experiences outside the VI
lists.
Just as a warning for people who may join high traffic tech lists moderators
don't always have the time to explain things.
I do agree we should make the effort though. As this is not only a piece of
netiquette but also a part of common curtisy.
