Peter,    (01)

Thank you for the useful piece of advice. I promise to try harder.    (02)

Ferenc,    (03)


Thank you for the continuous contribution to the [ontolog-forum] list.    (04)

May I suggest the following, so your posts could make it to the
community and the archives in a form that may better serve our goal of
building a dynamic knowledge repository together.    (05)

ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2010-09/threads.html    (06)

1.  please use "Reply" to a message to preserve the message thread (as
that would allow our archival system to thread the messages properly.)    (07)

2.  please preserve some header/reference information of the previous
message that you are citing.    (08)

3.  please use plain text in your posts (rather than "rich text"), and
leave a blank line between paragraphs and listed items. ... This will
allow the "PurpleNumbers" (ref.
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PurpleNumbers) to be populated
by our system.    (09)

4.  please observe community suggested self-regulatory guidelines (and
help keep the traffic volume of the list sane.)    (010)


Thanks & regards.  =ppy
