Dave, At the risk of making dave's list I should like to disagree with him on items 4 and 6. I do have a camper and I do find this information useful. I strongly encourage posting to both the list and the individual. What good is knowing the problem without the multitude of solutions that flood our bandwidth. Use the delete dave. regards gary Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 19:06:25 GMT From: Dave M <dmc@CYBURBAN.COM> Subject: pet peeves regarding this list Since someone complained about subject lines, here are my pet peeves in order of annoyance: (1) Excessive quoting especially the dreaded unreadable HTML (2) Non-Vanagon content, jokes and any one-liners (3) Replies send to the list which should only be sent to the poster (4) Anything to do with refrigerators, stoves, sinks etc (I don't have a camper) (5) Subject lines not accurately reflecting the message (6) People who reply to posts like this on the list instead of the poster individually I'm in digest mode, so filtering out the crud is very difficult. I find at least 50-75% of all posts to this list fall in the above categories. - David ('87 Wolfsburg)
