[Foundation-l] How to reply to a mailing list thread

[Everton Zanella Alvarenga]

Hi,

I prefer to write emails following rules similar to what MZMcBride
pointed at the beginning of this topic, mainly because it is how I
like to read other people emails - tho unfortunately a few people do
so. I use gmail, because I like its features and I don't care about
privacy issues, but I believe people should have the choise to worry
about this, i. e., people should be allowed to not use *a* specific
client.

There are places where Internet access is very expensive, mainly poor
countries. [1] Fortunately, even paying too much for Internet access,
as compared to (the so called) developed countries, I can easily
follow these discussions.  But I know there are (a *lot* of) people
who cannot (a few years a go I couldn't). Then, in my humble opinion,
a minimum effort could make possible more people to have access to
discussions at WMF mainling list.

Unless most of us already have a well formed opinion on the
uselfulness of most discussions held here.

Hugs,

Tom

(A few research can show more data and comparisons on that.)
