Hello all,
Well.. It's been busy on the old list!
I see there's been something going on about top posters V bottom posters.
I'm thinking we need to reach a consensus on this.. So.. It's voting time.
I've setup a poll at:
http://www.staffslug.org.uk/forum_viewtopic.php?2.416
Place your vote :o)
Hope everyone is having a good new year
Dave

Hello Dave,
Where is the option for in-line replying?
I'm not too keen on voting to ban anything anyway, gentle
re-education is the way, backed up by extreme force ;-)
btw are there any digest subscribers on the list? They're
the ones who suffer most with anyone who fails to trim
before sending :-/
Hope everyone is having a good new year
Postfix probs, virtual hosting probs, out-of-date Zope,
yes I'm definitely having fun, atm :-)

Sorry, that makes it sound like I mean an option
to ban in-line replying. I was referring to the debate
in the comments on the voting page, which seem to be
saying top-posting is good because bottom-posting is
bad. That's a bit like saying butter is good because
margarine is bad (or vice versa), when it's obviously
better to cook in olive oil ;^)

Unless you are like me and absolutely hate the taste of olive
oil....yuck, disgusting stuff :-((((

Ooooh, the big Z eh?
Terribly out of date it was - using Debian Sarge. Compiling
a new Python, and getting new Zope and Plone fixed things
a little, but I was caught out by an entry I didn't change
in Zope.conf, and really flummoxed by re-writing problems
in Apache. Still, kept me entertained for hours, it did ;-)
I'm banging my head against Plone and the ONLY good news is that
it
isn't PHP!
The Definitive Guide seems a very good book, and there
are others available on-line, but it takes a while -
my new site looks awful, atm =o/

Ha ha ha!
You think that you can solve the top vs bottom posting debate with one pole?
Why not start on something easy like the Arab Israeli Crisis or Norther
Ireland before you get into the Holy Wars!

haha, you're probably right.. although i'd be banned instantly for
using FreeBSD/winxp
I think it should be Vista........ you'd never hear from me again
then though as I have no intention of ever getting Vista. That
includes any pirated copies.
