Re: [Gretl-users] posting etiquette

Just a brief comment on posting to the gretl lists. When you're starting a new topic, please do this by starting a new email, and _not_ by replying to a current posting on a different topic but replacing its subject line (also known as hijacking a thread). It's easy to start a new posting, the address is gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu . The downside of hijacking an existing thread is that it messes up the threaded listing of postings to the list. This is a useful resource when anyone wants to look back on what was said on a given topic, but its clarity is diminished by hijacking. See for example http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-users/2015-October/thread.html (but there are plenty of other examples not restricted to any one poster). You see, pipermail knows very well when you're replying to an existing thread even if you try to disguise the fact!
