I'm sure you don't disagree, there was some rethorics when I said that.
All the same I was also trying to make sure we were talking about the same
thing.

We should abandon the approach when its cost is higher than its benefit
though.
If this is just an occasional nudge, it's fine.
But if I remember right, I think Werner was talking about top-posting (an
expression I
learned the meaning of in that very email) not two months ago.
Two messages in two months make me think we might actually have
reached a point where we might reconsider this thing.

I think that if this "email etiquette" thing costs us developer
participation,
we're making a questionable choice.
