I am seeing a lot of people FEAR to shoot a mail to the list.
It seems that the newbies should have thick skin to write to our list.
Expecting others to change is a 'nice' way of living in the world ;) I dont
think we should
expect others to behave as per our wishes. Newbies need not have a thick
skin, but they
should feel that this list is a grandpa, to whom they can approach easily
and get their queries
clarified.
I have consistently seen that a selected few do not have the naiveness while
posting
which is taken as being disrespectful. The problem *is* with the former;
for they being
in the list for a long time should not take the liberty in 'owning' this
group; and should rather
help in 'promoting' -- do understand that being curt in replies is
dangerous thing - and is often
understood as being disrespectful. Btw, i see the same behavior by those
*few* across mailing lists too;
so i have kind of lived that.
Been in this group since 2004-05, i have posted very less and i am always
flabbergasted with
the noise-to-signal ratio(!!).
Code of Conduct should be 'freindly' - like a marketing campaign, and not a
checklist.
