Clearly an off topic post from Jim P ranting about another ALE'er replying to the digest version. The social fabric of the universe will now falter and collapse because someone did something that Jim P's email reader displayed in a way that was too hard for him to follow.<br>
<br>I'm not sure what is worse, the fact that the ALE list has a digest option available for those people who have a life outside of ALE and want to simply read it all at once and there is really no way for a digest reader to post "properly" since they can't find a particular post they are interested in replying to and then change to non-digest mode and get another copy of the single post for reply purposes, or the apparent inflexibility of a very small number of ALE'ers to simply accept the reality that theirs is not always the best and never the only way to do things.<br>
<br>As this is a Linux list and it has been by extensive experience that the Linux users are far more intelligent than mainstream computer users I can only surmise than the disdain from Jim P about having an email suddenly not automatically threaded for him must be related to simply abject laziness. Maybe it was a thread he had already muted and wanted to not see any more [OT] posts. May he's just constipated. I object far more to the personal attacks on a silent ALE'er for chiming in with actually good information but in a non-threadable way from a long time ALE'er who usually posts better than this far more than I object to a digest reply post that was very neatly trimmed and succinct.<br>

</div>If you are going to subscribe to a community email list.... then you<br>
might as well take the 1:1 (non-digested) option so that your posts<br>
fit in well with everyone else's.<br>
