Unrelated ANT questions

[S I <xi...@hotmail.com>]

OK,

1. Could someone please point me to the ANT mailing list etiquette page.  I 
do have a certain decorum but just didn't wanna step on any toes.  However, 
I don't see anything on http://ant.apache.org/mail.html or anything remotly 
describing the details of posting or posing a question, etc.

2. Unfortunately, all the emails from you guys is routed to my Hotmail Junk 
Folder.  I added apache.org to my list to prevent this, however, emails sent 
to me directly by the Users still go to my junk folder.  How do I prevent 
this from happening? By adding each of you?  That would be somewhat 
formidable, no?

3. When I receive emails from everyone whether directly addressed to me and 
my posed question or addressed to others... Do I use Reply to respond to the 
newsgroup/mailing list directly or do I email the individual(s) ONLY to keep 
the barrage of emails to a minimum?


Thanks

Steven

if you have a problem

a) try searching archives
b) try google
c) check out Ant WIKI
c) if failure on above, write email with descriptive summary line so
that others in the future can search for the answer to your question, if
anyone does answer it
d) if you think u have abherrant behavior check bug list for Ant before
sending email

people on this list (and many lists) answer questions though they are
not obliged too, also (as with much Open Source) expecting something to
be working in a certain way or why doesnt Ant have this functionality is
usually met with; why not help create it...

this is definately off topic, u are going to have to ask someone at
hotmail this question.

u should just reply to the email list, not email list + person...though
for off topic conversations try to keep between personal emails.
