12/29 motd how-to-post: mm/dd(tab), not mm/dd(space). motd format god
was here.
\_ who cares?
\_ More people than you might think (esp if you want your post to
be read). *shrug* -mice
\_ just change your tab stops.
\_ how about you just hit 'tab' and follow the standard?
\_ what standard? This is not the same standard enforced
by the motd formatting daemon.
\_ go read the motd faq off the csua web page. and
yes it is the enforced motdformatd standard.
\_ This must be new. I don't remember all these
rules being in place when I joined.
\_ the file is a couple months shy of 2 years
old.
\_ the file has a history longer than that.
\_ They're not rules. They're guidelines so the
motd is readable. Stop now with the anarchist
wannabe stuff. Learn to cope. Life is full
of rules and guidelines. Most of them exist
for a reason.
\_ when you joined (and when was that?) there
weren't as many dumbfucks. people back then
were smart enough to do the right thing
without needing to be told. idiot.
\_ well, gee, shouldn't the "standard" specify
default tab stops then? and what about
replies? In order to get the \_ part to line
up with the parent, you usually need to do
<tab> <tab> ... <space> <space> <space>. That's
not tab stop agnostic. Get over it. Oh, and I
also see that the standard fails to mention that
everybody should keep posts within 80 columns,
although, since the tab stops aren't specified,
who knows what 80 columns is? |
