Re: [libreoffice-users] Replies

Hi :)
Often it seems that the better someone's English is the less likely they
are to be a native English speaker.  Using it all the time sometimes means
getting sloppy with it.  My grammar has gone down-hill quite a lot since
starting on this mailing list.  I used to take great pride in always being
fairly perfect with it.  Nowadays i just hope to be understood most of the
time.

In general i agree that "Reply to all" is not very good netiquette.
Luckily GMail automatically removes duplicates because otherwise i might
have to press the Del key for nearly every other post.  [shrugs]  doesn't
actually seem too difficult to me but it's something i regret forcing on
others.  The LibreOffice mailing lists kinda force people into it though.

Regards from
Tom :)
