Hello, The fact I have to read and think of how to structure the email address instead of copying and pasting is the issue for me, its a big deterrent, when I want to shoot someone a quick email giving them a heads up, I don't want to have to decypher their email address from the PKGBUILD because they obfuscated it, but this is my personal opinion, I know others share this opinion but I do not know how many :/
100x harder? How? Because it isn't a clickable mailto link? Please give Arch users *some* credit
No thanks, also it does not have to be a clickable mailto link but there has been many times (especially for those with german names... sorry, your names are so different from a English point of view) where I have mistyped the name in the email and the next day got a undelivered mail notification that the mail was not delivered. Humans make mistakes, in no way am I saying Arch Linux users are stupid, I am saying why not cut out the additional overhead and just make it 100x easier?
And it you are going to keep emailing these lists, please learn how to quote replies so the context remains in the thread. That is a practice that actually does make interacting with the community less burdensome.
I use text-only emails, unlike most people I dislike using html emails, it adds so much complexity, I love the simplicity of plain text emails. Yes I can quote like I have in this email, but I sometimes get lazy and can't be bothered, especially if it is only a small reply which is not complex. Furthermore I kindly ask for you to treat me with a little more respect, you have made two unjustified allegations within your email, firstly accusing me of implying that Arch Linux users are "imbeciles", and now you are dictating how I should and shouldn't structure my emails. If we are going to play the elitism card like you have in your email, look at your email address with your fancy "@gmail.com" and look at mine, just like how we all speak differently, we all structure our emails differently, I get the point you are making but it was VERY passive aggressive, so kindly stop!
