Mailing List [corp-rat subscribers] going OT ?

> From: owner-gzg-l@lists.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU

Accepted, in our company, e-mail footers are added by the client
mail program and can be turned off for personal mail, but I know others may
not be in the same situation. I should have made it clearer that that was a
suggestion, if able, not a demand.

Considering the SNR in here that was a bit facetious but was meant as a 'this
is a possible reason not to do it' as I for one filter on new content to
original post scores, i.e. if you post a one liner in response to a 20 line
post it is highly likely my filter will delete the post.

I definately was not trying to apply rules to a service which I don't own. I
intended to offer some possible guidance as I stated I am doing within my
corporate network and my peer group. I don't expect anyone to adopt my
principles, they are purely my own advice as I am aware that some, like
myself, score and filter based upon quoted responses.

What I should have said is that if you post with an automated
footer it is highly likely that my score/filter system will not
see responses with significantly lower numbers of lines in response without
snipping due to the level of quoted text, and I would imagine that other users
may use similar tools. So the upshot is I made a comment based upon how my
system works and possibly others but had no basis to make that comment. I
apologise.

Again, considering the SNR in here I should not have bothered making a comment
as it is highly likely that I am missing posts from others that may be
relevant to my gaming but because they don't snip I miss their comments
because of a system that I operate.

I did not intend to infringe anyone's personal rights to post what they like
as it is essentially an unmoderated forum, I was merely offering comment, but
should have quantified my reasons.

Can you tell I've been spending a lot of time with the corporate lawyers this
week for an unrelated issue:)
