It is also rude to cut off a fruitful discussion because he might have issues with me for some reason (which I think I remember now...oh well...).<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 1:30 AM, augustin (beginner) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:drupal.beginner@wechange.org">drupal.beginner@wechange.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi OP,<br>
<br>
I must side with Gerhard on at least one point: in this whole thread, he is<br>
the only one to have changed the subject line to something actually related<br>
to what is being discussed.<br>
<br>
This whole discussion could have been interesting to some people researching<br>
the archives of this list. However, how is anything that has been said<br>
related to "Welcome to the 'development' mailing list"??? This whole thread<br>
is lost as far as the archives are concerned.<br>
<br>
It's considered good netiquette to properly advertise the content of a mail by<br>
giving a meaningfull subject line. Any of the people who have replied to your<br>
email could have changed the topic line, too, to correct your original lack<br>
of manners. Gerhard is the only one to have done so.<br>
<br>
"Top-posting" is also considered bad manners.<br>
<br>
If you think about them, there are some good reasons behind each commonly<br>
agreed rule of netiquette, just like there are good reasons behind each of<br>
Drupal's very detailed coding standards.<br>
<br>
Thanks for taking such rules into consideration.<br>
