This hasn't been posted on the list for a long time. New members get it in their welcome message, but occasionally a reminder can be helpful. The Ten Commandments of E-mail: Here are our '10 commandments of emailing' - Thou shalt include a clear and specific subject line. - Thou shalt edit any quoted text down to the minimum thou needest. - Thou shalt read thine own message thrice before thou sendest it. - Thou shalt ponder how thy recipient might react to thy message. - Thou shalt check thy spelling and thy grammar. - Thou shalt not curse, flame, spam or USE ALL CAPS. - Thou shalt not forward any chain letter (Am I guilty...?). - Thou shalt not use e-mail for any illegal or unethical purpose. - Thou shalt not rely on the privacy of e-mail, especially from work. - When in doubt, save thy message overnight and reread it in the light of the dawn. And, here's the "Golden Rule" of e-mail: That which thou findest hateful to receive, sendest thou not unto others. -- Regards, John Durham <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> ICQ number 112663246 Fax/Phone 64 4 5286786 Award winning web site at http://modecideas.com?sig Order my latest e-book at http://modecideas.com/dmaxhits.htm?sig PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied. -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
