[...]
(Personally, I like to see a little personal
banter and joking; it helps
one get to know the folks we're communicating with. It does go a bit too
far sometimes, but for me it only becomes irritating when these two
problems are combined -- page after page after page of untrimmed,
now-irrelevant quotes many levels deep, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling,
just to find a line or two of something completely irrelevant at the
bottom.)
I can live with that. My problem is always, where to start revising or cutting
what others have said.
And when the original topic (say, about installing Icecat) suddenly veers into
philosophy and politics and Big Brother, etc., this really ought to be turned
into a completely new, separate thread. It's interesting, sometimes, but the
original topic got lost in discussions of matters that were several steps
removed from where it started.
So what would be our rule? except to create a new thread, early on, once we
realize where this train wreck is headed.
@ rules: rules are there to be broken. The more the world drifts to law & order, the
more imporant that gets.
