Importance: High

The following list has been publicized on other forums. Here it is for
general knowledge.
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. Or if you can't be bothered, leave
it on.
2. Please search the archives and FAQ. Or RTFM. RTFM is important!!!
3. Do not add attachments unless specifically asked to do so. Viruses
are OK!!
4. Only add .zip or .txt attachments. Others waste bandwidth and are not
necessary. If you have cable / DSL you can ignore this rule.
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. HA ha OK......
6. Understand what it is you want to ask, and visit:
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
<http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html> I prefer jeans.
7. Delete unnecessary text when quoting or replying to a post. Just
include/keep the information relative to your response. This way, others
do not have to wade through unnecessary information, only that which is
needed to understand the post. MMMM.....good idea
8. Do not use a "DIGITAL SECURITY Signature". It wastes bandwidth and
causes problems to some users, like those with PDAs. Who gives a #**#
about pda's?
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.) Even if your name is Andrew??
10. If you change the topic or direction thereof, change the subject
line. Awwe, that's no fun!!!
11. If you want a good answer, provide good details. If you want John or
Jim to answer you no details are needed.
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. 10 minutes is a
looooonnnnggg time!!
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. Great idea......Hello mr mail admin, can you turn off
the disclaimer. I have to send an email...:)
14. Do not include any line as part of a message "signature" like, "If
you have received this communication in error..." What if it's a genuine
mistake??
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. And then reply in CAPS and with some
meaning!!!
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. There's always that one chance tho'!
Please note: This list is a collaborative effort and will be changed
upon valid suggestions.
