What's intimidating about the phrase "please don't top-post to this list as per list etiquette"? I think it was short, to the point, and polite. It's like someone saying "Please wipe your feet before entering" or "Please don't use flash photography in the museum." It may not be something you want to hear, but if it has to be said somehow, at least they said please, and didn't accuse you of willfully doing wrong. If you think there's a better way to deliver the message in that exact situation (as in, when responding without including an answer to the question) why not suggest a better way rather than simply saying he was doing it wrong, and not giving him any suggestions at all? ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rockbox FAQ: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeneralFAQ Etiquette: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/etiquette.html Received on 2008-07-06 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
