Re: [avr-gcc-list] Is this what we get for trying to help?

Hi Nayani,

The reason your replies don't appear on the list is that this mailing 
list is set up so that replies are sent to the poster, not the list.  I 
can't remember why it is setup this way, but I remember there was a 
discussion about it a long time ago.  The list moderators and organisers 
had good reasons for having the list this way - and if Joerg and the 
others find the list faster or easier this way, then fair enough.  The 
trick for most email clients is to click "Reply All" rather than just 
"Reply", and adjust the addresses as desired.

Regarding the obnoxious student - you just have to ignore such people. 
It's an unfortunate fact of mailing list (or Usenet) life.  On a 
moderated list like this, they are less of a problem, but there seem to 
be steadily more students (and, more depressingly, "professionals") who 
think others should do their work for them, and have no respect or 
manners.  Keep your flame-proof underwear on when posting, and filter 
out any posts where "you" is spelt "u", or where the poster can't find 
the shift key (there is nothing wrong with spelling mistakes or 
grammatical errors - but SMS-speak is right out).

Best regards,

David
