Just that it really becomes as clear as possible, maybe add or merge 
right here with the same indent as the last above cited paragraph more 
advise with words which are similarly mentioned elsewhere but also would 
be of benefit to the mailing list(s):

     * Be respectful and polite. If you write in an unpleasant manner, 
people won't feel motivated to work with you. Don't feel attacked by 
criticizing words, seriously consider the possibility that you haven't 
been attacked and instead got suggested a correction. Also consider that 
disagreement might not have to be discussed and might not help to solve 
the technical issue treated in the thread. If you feel attacked then be 
the better person and ignore it - instead of feeding conflict. Convince 
people with results, rather than words.



Always stay in good spirits!
Marco

My English or wording might need to be improved!
