    Netiquette Question (was Re: Legal Education? etc. ) —Richard Marchetti
   I am just curious about something... Christopher posed a request here, and I have gone to some lengths to fulfill that request in the previous post. Now it happens that I don't care if he responds to the previous post or not (REALLY!), but I wonder (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Netiquette Question (was Re: Legal Education? etc. ) —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) If it had been me that asked for info I probably would have sent you a private thanks. Or maybe even a public one. The line between clutter and politeness is indistinct in this area. I doubt very much that Chris slighted you deliberately, (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Netiquette Question (was Re: Legal Education? etc. ) —Christopher L. Weeks
     (...) Your tone suggests, contrary to your words, that you'd appreciate an acknowledgement of your effort. And I don't think that's out of line, but I'm also not sure what our common understanding of this issue is (if there is one). (...) I think a (...)

         Re: Netiquette Question (was Re: Legal Education? etc. ) —Richard Marchetti
     (...) Nope, I am not the slightest interested in acknowledgement of the effort at all, not unless it leads to interesting discussions. That would be cool. FWIW, it has also been my understanding that there is no real standard of behavior as to (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Netiquette Question (was Re: Legal Education? etc. ) —David Eaton
     (...) Agree with Larry. Netiquette could swing both ways depending on who, when, and what forum. (...) Ok, my take is a very definite "no". My advice is: Don't be offended by anything. Or try not to be. It's a waste of emotion, and being a negative (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Netiquette Question (was Re: Legal Education? etc. ) —Richard Marchetti
     Dave and Lar: Thanks for the replies. I am really interested in what people have to say about this issue, but at the same time I am really NOT offended that Christopher has done nothing at this point. It is merely that his having done nothing allows (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Netiquette Question (was Re: Legal Education? etc. ) —Christopher L. Weeks
     (...) Whew! I'm sure I will. I place an unseemly value on "the really good notes" in this forum. Most of those have been written by you about the law and related politics, LFB about history and particularly it's effects on our current perceptions, (...)

        Re: Netiquette Question (was Re: Legal Education? etc. ) —Maggie Cambron
   (...) No one can tell you whether you should or should not be offended, but had I gone to the trouble to write what you wrote and got no acknowledgment specifically from the person who requested the info, you bet I'd be offended. (But then I guess (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Netiquette Question (was Re: Legal Education? etc. ) —Richard Marchetti
   (...) This is exactly what I think happened. (...) That is probably good advice in many instances. But generally I guage my efforts by how amusing it is TO ME to make the response. Yes, if you can believe it -- I entertain myself this way at times. (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
