[GNC] Why do people start new threads?

[paul at kroitor.ca]

Guilty as charged (and I can't even claim I'm not an old hand at mailing
lists). Apologies again!

I know there are endless posts going back years about switching to something
more forgiving. IMHO the biggest problem with them is how unforgiving they
are once a mistake is made. With a forum (or half-a-dozen other approaches)
at least a moderator can clean up unintended (or even intended) fiascos.

It could be worse. They could reply to a digest e-mail and not change the
subject!

Not everyone is 'old hat' at using mailing lists. (or even e-mail for that
matter)

I still know people that e-mail me a year or more later on a new topic by
replying to the last message I sent them that they happen to find...

The Wiki does have a tips/best-practices section on how to use the list, but
I'm sure many do not read it or put it into practice.

Adrien
