Hi,

I have essentially tuned out over the last few days as the debate raged
regarding top posting and bottom posting. I went back over the threads today
but did nor really discover what is "wanted" or "preferred".

When joining this list I noted in my first email the lack of any real
information on posting messages, what the list was about or appropriate
etiquette.

Information should be available somewhere, associated with the
libreoffice-users list, on what sort of questions the list addresses,
subject line format, preferences with top-posting versus bottom-posting,
snipping of text, etcetera.

Maybe the list moderator(s) could draft something up, post it on the wiki
and provide a link in the footer of future messages. This will go a long way
to standardising the email content on the list.


Some people would consider that rude and off-putting to a) newcomers
who don't read the sign-up page that carefully or b) don't know where
the wiki is, or c) people who can't take the trouble to follow
guidelines they don't agree with anyway.

Other than that, it's a perfectly acceptable idea to me since I read
guidelines and abide by them even if I don't agree with them.

But that's just me.

Good suggestion.
