Hi all, I've noticed that some people top-post, and when it's only once in a while it's tolerable, but when I wake up and my email digests total up to 100KiB because half of the emails are copying and pasting all the previous emails in the entire chain, it gets very arduous to read. A polite request/reminder asking for people to bottom post. Being able to quote whoever you're addressing makes it easier to write your responses too, so bottom posting makes it easier for both the author and the readers. ~nytpu -- Alex // nytpu alex at nytpu.com GPG Key: https://www.nytpu.com/files/pubkey.asc Key fingerprint: 43A5 890C EE85 EA1F 8C88 9492 ECCD C07B 337B 8F5B https://useplaintext.email/
On a similar note on email etiquette; I'd also like to either get the mailing list switched to plain text only, or for everyone participating to configure their email clients properly. There are lots of guides online to do either of those, and it will massively clean up the discussions here. -- Leo

> BTW, your lines are strangely wrapped. Whelp, this is what I get for switching to Thunderbird occasionally. I think for some reason the editor component of Thunderbird does not represent what is going to be sent even when my emails are set to Plain Text. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. -- Leo
