[QCLUG] Gentle reminder

Now ive always top posted and leave everything and its perfectly fine so in
all honesty thats more a cosmetic thing then any rule. The main things would
be plain text and keeping most posts to computer related things.

The reason for top posting is people get your response on top can read it
and scroll down if they need to see what went on anyway seems most programs
tend to throw the start at the top including Gmail and thunderbird. also you
could never include last post because most email clients will thread all
mails with the same subject line ( Important not to change a subject line to
keep material in same thread.)

The reasons for bottom posting is people get to scroll threw all what was
said (this can get to be long but sometimes snipping dont always work top
posting can work better or removing all quoted text )  but this is the same
as how threaded messages work so why repeat it again

The reasons for deleting all quoted text is mostly if not everyone uses a
mail client that threads (same subjected emails)  so each email is  can be
viewed  without the need  to have the quoted text. plus allot of posts can
get super long with log files and such .  For example gmail groups all
messages together on one page so you can see the whole message so just
seeing repeated text wastes space.

1) Plain text (some still use text based email clients and html really is
not needed for a mailing list)
2) Keep subject the same so messages thread correctly
3)* the whole top post VRS bottom post and "quotes" post thing is kinda is
dependent on situation and the way people process information and is
something we mostly dont focus on too much we know everyone is different
and  except them that way.
4) yes the mailing list is public. need to keep this in mind. a couple
questions 1) i hope all email address are hidden or i hope thats changed to
members only access like we need more spam ..... oh crap maybe thats why im
getting phone calls all the time ... ive posted my phone number ...... oh
well lol
5) Keep things computer related ( dont always have to be linux , new
technology , games etc etc )
