Re: [libreoffice-users] Mail List Etiquette

Hi :)
Obviously this list feels it more important to make rules to make it more 
difficult for first time users, to ask them to post in a way that is completely 
opposite to what they use everywhere else with everyone else they might 
communicate with in the course of a working day.  


When people ask for help this list expects them to stop and read a list of rules 
and then re-configure their set-up in order to ask the question and then 
re-configure their system again back to the way they need to use it for 
everything else they do.  If they use MicroSoft Outlook or Yahoo then they will 
be told to use a different email client for this list and probably told to 
set-up a different email address too.

So we are trying to make ourselves as inaccessible as possible to the vast 
majority of people that might need this list.  

Regards from
Tom :)

This already exists in German:
http://www.eschkitai.de/libreoffice/netikette.html
Maybe someone can/wants to translate this.

I don´t know if Google does a good job in translating:
