The thread referred to in the subject line started with Mail delivery issues, and then started discussing some newbie problems, and ended up with some discussion about shorthand and being literate in English ...

Our emails are archived. When you search emails using any search engine, getting replies and help based on short hand English becomes difficult. The user's group's emails are a great source of help for a number of people who look for help on the Internet. Therefore it is necessary to write questions and reply messages as comprehensively as possible. Our questions and replies to them are valuable knowledge base. improper language and subject of threads does disturb the implicit protocol.

Therefore, please use good subject lines, and if necessary use new subject lines, or edit subject lines for appropriate archiving. And of course as good language as possible.

Would like to add one more point. Please do copy paste the EXACT error messages in your problem description instead of describing the error. This helps people quickly locate relevant threads when they copy-paste the error message in the search query.

So this is a hint. If you're facing a problem with Linux or any OSS for that matter, just paste the error message in your favorite search engine and see pages after pages of solutions to your problem ;)
