The ongoing debate about top posting vs. bottom/random posting has sparked a somewhat related question in me: what about root posting (e.g. posting to the root of the list, instead of in the relevant thread)? For someone like me, who is on digest (and not planning to go off it soon. The digests clutter my mailbox enough as it is), it is often a matter og being reluctant to post to an ongoing thread, knowing that my email will fall "out of" the thread context. What are opinions on this? I know I find it irritating myself, when browsing the mailman interface over at FreeBSD.org, to find a thread that's interesting, only to find scattered answers all over the place. Is there a way to remedy this, for those of us on digest? - -Henrik W Lund -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAXvycnzC5lcw9P3IRAsm1AJ903U7hBLvH+MZaI34zdvnBzWUcYQCcDGRd +5AHpLyqVlRvOQLDHbGrC6Y= =ayBc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
