Well, i guess i`ve red the list enough to "get" the Right Way of posting on
gnu-arch-users.

People often take for granted their ability to discuss complex matters, and
therefore they are slacking from thinking their posts through.

The very basic requirement is to make your post structured, so that the
reader can easily separate statements.

Another requirement is the absolutely minimum possible level of implications
and vague weasel words.

OTOH if you intend to express your feelings, instead of making a clear point,
_please_ _state_ _that_, and do not expect others to take you serious,
change opinions or make any alterations to the physical world.

As far as i am concerned, your post violates the guidelines i`ve stated.
