Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: OTHER POSTING PROBLEMS

 

I think that people need to be tolerant and recognize there is a wide
variety of ways people access the forum and that people aren't intentionally
frustrating them. While it would be nice to have some uniformity, it is an
ideal that seems to be unrealistic when people use many devices and email
services to access the forum.

I hope that people will calm down at least until it rears its ugly head
again (and it will). Time to chill.
