debian-user is a mailing list provided for support for Debian users,
and to facilitate discussion on relevant topics.
Some guidelines which may help explain how the list works:
* The language on this mailing list is English. There may be other mailing
lists that are language-specific for example debian-user-french
* It is common for users to be redirected here from other lists - for example,
from debian-project. It is also common for people to be posting here when
English is not their primary language. Please be considerate.
* The list is a Debian communication forum. As such, it is subject to both
the Debian mailing list Code of Conduct and the main Debian Code of Conduct
https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct
https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct
* This is a fairly busy mailing list and you may have to wait for an
answer - please be patient. Please post answers back to the list so
others can benefit; private conversations don't benefit people who
may be following along on the list or reading the archives later.
* Help and advice on this list is provided by volunteers in their own time.
It is common for there to be different opinions or answers provided.
* Please try to stay on topic. Arguments for the sake of it are not
welcome here. Partisan political / religious / cultural arguments
do not belong here either. Debian's community is world wide; don't
assume others will agree with your views or need to read them on a
Debian list.
Just that it really becomes as clear as possible, maybe add or merge
right here with the same indent as the last above cited paragraph more
advise with words which are similarly mentioned elsewhere but also would
be of benefit to the mailing list(s):
* Be respectful and polite. If you write in an unpleasant manner,
people won't feel motivated to work with you. Don't feel attacked by
criticizing words, seriously consider the possibility that you haven't
been attacked and instead got suggested a correction. Also consider that
disagreement might not have to be discussed and might not help to solve
the technical issue treated in the thread. If you feel attacked then be
the better person and ignore it - instead of feeding conflict. Convince
people with results, rather than words.
Always stay in good spirits!

My English or wording might need to be improved!
