It's not a question of anyone playing god, simply that _everyone_ should make the effort to properly format and errorcheck their e-mails. When you get 100s of email each day (and those on -questions and/or -current will) a badly formatted or spelt message could simply get ignored. Like it or not, that's a fact. A message that's difficult to read only introduces problems in communication, which when you're asking for help, doesn't help at all. No one's playing god. It's just a plea (that's been said many times before) for some better thought out messages. --- Andrew Boothman FreeBSD UK User Group http://ukug.uk.FreeBSD.org/~andrew/ http://ukug.uk.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
