[vlc] Separate Mailing List For Mac Users?

[Guy Perkins]

I agree (ish!!!) - Some Pro's & Con's :-

Pro - Most posts appear to relate to OS spcific issues & so would
interest OS matched list watchers who would be better placed to reply.

Con - SOME posts are not OS related , & some OS related posts may end up
being actually related to a cross OS VLC issue & so take longer to
idenify as such.
Con - If the poster is to insert the tag, will people do it.
Con - Will the poster know if an issue is OS specific or global. (I've
never used the Mac Or Linux versions, so would not know if certain
functions/features are the same/similar or not)

One Answer, maybe 4 tags, although that doesn't address all the above
cons.

[Win] = Windows
[Mac] = Macintosh
[Lin] = Linux
[All] = Global

Subject: [vlc] Separate Mailing List For Mac Users?


Hello,

I mean absolutely no disrespect to the many Windows users who
participate on this list, but I am wondering if there is a separate
mailing list specifically geared for Macintosh VLC users. The truth of
the matter is that the vast majority of the messages that I have been
receiving on this list have been directed at Windows users. Not being a
Windows user myself, and not knowing how VLC operates on a Windows
machine, and thus not being able to help Windows VLC users, I have very
little use for, or interest in, the majority of these messages.

If there is no separate list for Mac VLC users, would the
folks at VideoLan.org consider setting up one?

If not, would it be possible to implement a new policy on
this list whereby all participants are required to add a
small tag to the subject line of their messages, which identifies their
platform? I would suggest the following for
starters:

[Win] = Windows
[Mac] = Macintosh
[Lin] = Linux

For example, in the case of this current message from me, I might write
the subject line as:

Separate Mailing List For Mac Users? [Mac]

It's just a suggestion, and I'll probably get shot down for even
suggesting it, but I am sure that there are others out there who are
bothered by receiving so many unnecessary list messages in their in box.

With the aforementioned tag system, many of us could easily
set up a filter in our email client which would redirect incoming
messages to the appropriate place on our hard drive.

Thanks for your consideration,

SnidelyW
