Look at the following post and welcome to the CentOS Mailing List. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2008-October/065626.html
Trim your mails, turn off html in your client and do some basic "homework" on your problem offlist and you'll be a star.
This list is for people who need, want or can give help w.r.t. CentOS and peripherally related issues.
For someone whose name does not even appear in the archives yet, you seem awfully hostile to everyone who deviates even slightly from the norm here, including people who are long-time members of this list. Tone it down, and if you have nothing helpful or advisory to say w.r.t. the problem presented, kindly save our time and stop wasting your own by typing it in.
Yes, I prefer not to read people's personal ramblings, and I don't like top posters, unedited response trails and so on, but you make me look nice about it....
FTR, Sorin's posts were all rather nicely trimmed, though I admit I was wondering when he was going to stop Rumsfelding us.
Lighten up. Someday, you, too, may need help and not be quite so particular with the guidelines.
