Hello,
I had used the @ symbol in my subject line. One user, whose name I do not seem to remember, thinks he knows better than other people what linguistic symbols to utilise in mailing lists, and he responded as below:
==quote==Please go back to Facebook/Twitter. List mail threads do not concatenate themselves with the @nonsense. Read the mailing list guidelines once again and try to respect them.==quote==
I do not understand the first sentence. Should I then politely ask the honble user to *please* go back to wherever it is that etiquette is taught?
Regards

Can you please stop restarting new thread each time you mail to list?

If you would have replied to the email instead of starting a new thread, you would have known it was me.

Everyone knew that I responded as below. You see, I sent the reply to the *list* and not to you. And definitely not as a separate thread.

Surely that is not the only thing you don't understand. You don't seem to understand anything that anyone has to say, which is why you're unnecessarily trying to create 'horrible people' out of practically everybody who is asking you to follow list guidelines. You don't seem to understand the mailing list guidelines.
Should I then politely ask the honble user to *please* go back to wherever it is that etiquette is taught?
Sadly, you do not understand (heh) that the 'horrible' person is already in the right place and is following the etiquette of the place he is posting to:

Oops, I misread honble as horrible. Partial apologies for that (partial since honble is not really a word).

it is a sarcastic form which really means dishonourable (re Mark Anthony's speech - 'but Brutus is an honourable man')
