The following rules of etiquette are to be followed when posting to any of the lists:

  • Do not top post.

  • Use of excessive quoting in E-mail replies is frowned upon.

  • HTML messages and non-text attachments will be rejected.

  • Do not post questions to a list without having read all of documentation that is available to you. The Window Maker source code comes with a README, INSTALL, and NEWS file. There is also an FAQ to read. These pieces of information are MANDATORY reading and contain answers to many common questions. Please, do not post a question to the lists unless it can't be found in the documentation.

  • Please, please, and pretty please THINK before you post. Try very hard not to intentionally provoke others and cause flame-wars. We reserve the right to unsubscribe and ban any user that has a history of causing trouble.
