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

[Parthasaradhi Nayani]

Dear Mr. David,
Thanks a lot for the mail and from now on I will remember to "reply all" rather than just "reply". Your words about the student are very apt and as you rightly said SMS-speak must be out. Thanks once again.

Regards
Nayani

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
