Proper etiquette when posting to a list or forum!
When posting to a list or forum, please comply with the following "rules:"
1. Turn off Return Receipt Requests.
2. Please search the archives and FAQ.
3. Do not add attachments unless specifically asked to do so.
4. Only add .zip or .txt attachments. Others waste bandwidth and are not
necessary.
5. Do not post in html format. The size of a message in HTML is a lot larger
than that of plain text. This is a problem for those on dial-up and those with
PDAs.
6. Understand what it is you want to ask, and visit:
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
7. Delete unnecessary text when quoting or replying to a post. It is wasting
bandwidth.
8. Do not use a "DIGITAL SECURITY Signature". It wastes bandwidth and causes
problems to some users, like those with PDAs.
9. Please use a subject line that will attract attention to your problem and
offers an insight of what asking about. (Example, a subject line of "Help" will
be ignored.)
10. If you change the topic or direction thereof, change the subject line.
11. If you want a good answer, provide good details.
12. Please allow time for people to respond to your post. We are working too.
Plus, some lists are known to be slow to post.
13. Please do not include lines of company/private legal disclaimer. You are
sending to a list. It is going to be resent to everyone on that list. This
translates into no longer being a private or confidential message. Also, some
lists are archived and have been known to show up on Google searches.
14. Do not include any line as part of a message "signature" like, "If you have
received this communication in error..."
15. If your post is criticized, please reread your original post you sent along
with the reply and take a few minutes to think about them before snapping out
your reply.
16. Do not initiate a flame against others. It is improper to do so on a list.
Take it off list. Also, 9 times out of 10 you will be proven wrong.
Please note: This list is a collaborative effort and will be changed upon valid
suggestions.
