Knew what? If you don't quote what you're talking about, don't expect people to understand you. Most of us don't use HyperKitty and not many will be bothered checking the archives for the previous message.

WHY does HK not quote the context by default? This is a real PITA.

I knew that restic is in the fedora repo. sorry for the mess !
supporting your ran !
I was just replying directly to you using the "Reply link" under your comment, so I thought I'm doing it right.
Your rant regarding this point is wrongly addressed to me !
The rant isn't addressed to you. Sorry of that wasn't clear. As a rule, something marked as <rant></rant> is a general comment inserted as an aside because it happens to be relevant to this particular post.
Cause I often got the impression that HK does some *magic* sorting. My comments often appear incoherent somewhere in the thread without any timely flow. even if I do a full quote and clear the hole quoted text it seems HK looses track.
you/we can see it right now in this comment: in HK it appears that I'm replying to my self: see the first line !
I don't look at HK unless I need to consult the archives, and never use it to post if I can avoid it. This mailing list is (as the name implies) a *mailing list*. That's how most people interact with it. HK is (IMHO) a misguided attempt to merge two modes of communication with different traditions and expectations. I was much less annoyed by the old archive format, which was easier to search and had the advantage of *not* letting you post directly. However that's getting OT.
Often I need to click "Show replies in by date" at the top of the thread to sort it *halfway*.
That all bugs me too !!! and -btw- a edit function would be a win too !
P.S. I'm thinking about using a mail client. I guess the advantage will be a starting line in my comments of: "who wrote what when" !
I would encourage you do that. Any half-decent MUA will do. I use Evolution, others people use Thunderbird, Claws, Mutt etc. It doesn't greatly matter.
