[Live-devel] Basic 'netiquette': Please do not post the same question to the list multiple times

[Ross Finlayson]

I have just been forced to remove someone from the mailing list for 
violating (what I would have thought was) a simple, well-known rule 
of mailing list 'netiquette': They attempted to post the same 
question to the mailing list multiple times (after their first post 
had already been accepted and sent to the list).

A reminder: Not every question that's posted to this mailing list 
happens to get answered.  If noone answers your question, then it may 
just be because noone knows the answer.  Or maybe it was because your 
question was specific to your particular environment and/or 
application (which the rest of us may know little about).  Or maybe 
your question can be answered by reading the FAQ.  Or maybe people 
just don't find your question interesting enough to respond to.

If your question shows up on the mailing list, then rest assured that 
lots of people (currently, more than 900 people) will get to see it. 
But sometimes, a question does not get answered.  If that happens, 
then sorry - but *do not* resend the question to the list again.
