Guilty as Charged !

Yeap no love for mailing lists and even emails in total from me either. And yes I am a big fan of top posting or whatever its called. I prefer reading the reply first , see the quote later on. Having to scroll down a quote to see a reply is killing my inner child. But I have no problem complying on this. Whatever it takes to make people happy and smiley :)�

The irony here is that mailing lists have been around for decades and still email web clients have not adjusted to fit the needs of having a civil reasonable conversation with people. People trying to claim that web is the future of computing (or the present) , lets say I am not impressed at all.�

Another proof that being popular does not make you useful. How come web is such a big pile of mess ?�

Frankly we should be very happy that we are a small community. Imagine this problem scaled up to a language of 1-2 million users. Scary stuff !�

I keep this "This battle was lost a decade ago, I'm afraid."

Sadly, it is true.
But at least we won the html vs plaintext one (or at least no one else cares).

The mailing list format is not good for debate... using mails, in my
opinion. Forums or other similar tools are better suited.
