[maemo-developers] Pleasing other users - new obligation under rules set by Community council in-spe at Maemo ?

[From: Darius Jack]

My dear friend,

I just switched your mail to Plain Text
and it's hard to read it on light green background.
Try to upgrade your mailer one day.
Your list makes a very small percentage of all my e-mail traffic I get
and as 99,999% posters has, has had no problems yet,
try to solve  your problem on yourself.
I don't generate html , I just read and reply.
I like white background in my mailer
as light green is hard to read or post.
Try to please me too ;)

Frankly speaking, from the very beginning I opted for on-line reading, posting,
no e-mail delivery.
I would like to unsubscribe from this list and still have an opportunity to read a list on-line and post on-line as I get used at Google Groups.

That way I can keep my mailbox clean of spam requesting me to please you and others.
And please don't follow this thread.
Finished, closed, ended.

Darius

There is always a start to follow proper rules on mailing list.

So, you mean you don't give a damn if people without a nokia.com

Is it really a problem for you to switch your Yahoo mailer from
"enriched text" to "simple text" ?

You are not writing for yourself (I hope so) but to other people to
make sure they read what you wrote.
Yet, you don't follow basic rules across most free software mailing lists :
-don't post HTML text, but plain text only
-don't top post and only quote part of the message you respond to
-refrain to use emails as advertising to other

> Pleasing others is what makes you .....

You are the one who are being rude to every reader of this mailing
list, by not following those basic rules of politeness, which discard
any kind of message you might want to send.

Several people have tried to explain you should refrain from doing so.
