Reply protocol for this list?
I wondered, because based on the traffic I've watched the last couple of
days since I joined I've not detected a specific pattern, if there's a
best practice for replies to postings in this list.
In the Vim users list, for example, they like you to reply only at the
bottom of mail or interweave.
I found no practices document at maven.apache.org.
Thanks,
Russ Bateman

I've given up on the top-posting thing. Even getting people to
properly quote only the relevant bits seems to be a lost cause. I
blame GMail. ;)

"bottom post (gasp)"
Yup. I totally agree with that sentiment. But it's the rule in the Vim
group and hardly a week goes by but what someone has to remind nubes
about it. I wanted to start off on the right foot with the Maven crowd.
Thanks.

Gmail users (and other bottom feeders) like me mostly top post. But if
I have something specific to address and it doesn't make sense to make
a general reply, I'll go in-line. Many other people go in-line or even
bottom post (gasp).
There's no specific rules, at least, I've been here a while and I've
never seen any posted. So, do what you prefer, and I'm sure we can
sort it out.
