- Taking the discussion offline via e-mail is rude to the community.
Share!

- If you have the time to post here then you have the time to return
here to check for replies.

- This isn't a newgroup about rape, porn, whistleblowing, security holes
(and how to exploit them), or anything sensitive or destructive. E-mail
is inappropriate in a public discussion, and rarely is a private
discussion needed.

- Asking or demanding e-mail replies means you are lazy. Why would we
expect you would even bother fixing the problem if you are unwilling to
look for the relies?

- Just say no to spammers pretending to be newbies or idiots in need of
help.

- I'm already reading your post in my news client. I might offer help.
But you want me to jump through more hoops to send you e-mail? Nope, on
to the next post.

- "I don't know how I got here so e-mail me." Again, a spammer
pretending to be an idiot. If they don't know how to copy and paste a
URL from their browser than whatever problem they report is beyond their
comprehension to understand any replies.

"E-mail me directly: ...". Okay, so how would I e-mail you indirectly?
Ummm, rom de rom ... ummm, rom de rom (I'm meditating this message to
you). :)
