Well haven't you read what he said ? Gmail must be *wrong* because Nicolas George said "That was wrong".
So this must be so bad and so painful to receive a message in his mailbox. Probably he doesn't know what's a forward or alias mailbox that you can destroy when tired of receiving email or simply ignoring a message. I delete at least 20 unwanted message a day, some are list that I'm registered to but not all messages are useful. And I don't make a case out of it. As I said in my message, I don't normally answer directly to messages but when it is a first time I exchange with a user, as I don't know if he's on the list or not (people can post without being registered). Then I'll send a CC message. Seems like kindness or understanding on the flexibility or some rules are hard to understand. I've got told it is okay to act this way on this list because of the number of user who post without being subscriber. I don't remember the name but it is the person who write the FAQ and post monthly reminder of the rules on this list. So I take his words as pretty much good. > > Cindy :) > -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
