I will have to say I agree with this. I think many people do this even here in the US so it isnt necessarily an Indian thing.
I think that many problems arise when combining culture though, when you have a lazy American, and Im American, I feel like I can say something or confront them or go to management about them. On the other hand when the person is from Asia (or any other country, Asia just has such a different cultural setup than the US) then it is more difficult to say anything and the resentments can grow and be placed upon innocent people just for the sake of their nationality.

I believe the email link only appears if you are logged in, so the way it works now seems right.
Another thing: the emails I get seem to be, on average, more intelligent than some of the public posts on my articles.
Also, I have gotten some emails from companies who want me to do some consulting for them, so personally I see the email link as a plus.

I’ve pointed this out before but I feel the need to reiterate in the hope that the problem is resolved. Say person “a” posts to which person “b” replies and finally person “c” replies to person “b”; or diagrammatically a->b->c. If person “b” deletes his post then the following results: a->c. This situation is confusing at best and at worst could cause arguments and misdirected anger. It would be good if this could be resolved.

Two extremes come to mind straight away:
1. You can’t delete a port.
2. When you delete a post a “post deleted” post is inserted in its place.
The second is probably preferable and if memory serves me correctly how things used to work.

This is already what is meant to happen.
The problem is if someone replies to a post at the same time as it's deleted then you get headless posts. There could also be a big nasty bug in their too.

Multiprocessor cpu's are becoming quite common which is driving up the importance of learning about threading tremendously. I may have missed it, but I can't see a dedicated section devoted to threading issues (for .net).
Perhaps a subcategory in the .net section?
Also I'd like to put out a call for articles on not just the mechanics of threading but identifying areas of software that are good candidates for threading and designing with threading in mind in the first place.

Multi Threading should be an article category.

Hi
Message reply link from email is not working in windows live mail. It is showing click here to reply. But if we click nothing will happen ?
Is it CP problem or Windows Live Mail Prob ?

That is because you need to whitelist the sender before the links will work.

I think it would be cool to have a "CP Tool" section. Because I've noticed that there are quite a few CodeProject tools written by CP members, and they're all scattered throughout other articles. Would that be ok?
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.
Neo: That's why it's going to work.

Yes, but it's under the General C++ menu, so it's not clear that's where you would look for a C# tool (for example).

No, I was thinking of a section for CP Tools in any language.

Many older articles have comment sections that run for several pages. This causes people just reading the article to overlook the answer to their question, which may have been asked earlier. So they ask the question again, causing the comment section to become even larger...
So how about a View All option, next to First Prev Next?

Good catch - yes, it should just be for article comments, not other message boards.
