It drives old-timers like me, familiar with old-school email and Usenet, NUTS.
MAC UNMOUNT DISK FINDER DISSENTED HOW TO
Then you must have worked with thousands of top-posting morons raised on Outlook and AOL, and who only know how to upload to blogs with FTP, thus opening themselves to attack. That's how it worked on Usenet for years. If you don't want excessive repetition, just delete the older stuff. If you don't find this annoying, I don't frankly understand why. If I want to find out what we're talking about, I have to go back and dig into my outbox, to figure out WTF we're talking about. It is important because I would like to have some context for what I'm responding to, and you should have some context for what you're responding to, in the email to which you're responding. Yes, because bandwidth for a few lines of text is so expensive. Here is my response: Please help us understand why you feel like you should always include our response with ours? Our web based desk records everything, including our responses so we don't need to see it multiple times. We work with thousands of customers and didn't see this as a problem before. The response? Please help us understand why you feel like you should always include our response with ours? Our web based desk records everything, including our responses so we don't need to see it multiple times. This alone is almost enough to make me want to write off my current investment in you as a bad one, and find someone who can help me without being such an email PITA. Not to mention top posting (though in this case, it's almost meaningless to distinguish between top and bottom posting).ĭo you think that it enhances the customer relationship? Do you realize how annoying it is to:ġ) not include my response in your response andĢ) make me jump through hoops to include your response in mine?
Here was my second email in response to this absurd and deliberate policy (the first was minimal, and unreplied to): One other point. And moreover, even if I top posted, they didn't want to see their response in my response. They were determined to allow nothing that they emailed me to be quoted in my response. Me instead of deleting everything and then replying. I'm assuming this is because you were trying to quote The response was: = WHEN REPLYING DELETE THIS LINE AND EVERYTHING BELOW IT = In my first response, I ignored it, and just replied below (as I always do, since as a long-time emailer, I bottom post to response). When I get an email from them, it comes in the following form: = WHEN REPLYING DELETE THIS LINE AND EVERYTHING BELOW IT = The point is the (to me) user hostility of their system. They have been somewhat helpful, in that they have eliminated possibilities of what the problem might be, but they haven't actually determined what the problem is ($150 later, and asking for more).īut that's not the point. I went to one of the providers listed at MT as consultants, to try to get some help (unnamed, to protect the guilty). As one can surmise from the previous test posts, I've been trying (after three quarters of a year) to fix the problems with my Movable Type installation.
