Talking about the list, I'd say one is to balance between 2 approaches, I'd call them optimistic and pessimistic styles of posting. The optimistic - is the one when a user assumes, the mistakes will be forgiven, so he could concentrate more on creativity and productivity. The pessimistic - is the one when a user thinks that the cost of the mistake will be too high. In this case he talks a little trying not to make a mistake and not to say anything that can be interpreted negatively. I tend to agree that the second approach fits better the global list, but you know, without the ability to be creative there is no much sense to post for some. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
