Members, Please read below, do not just delete this post, PLEASE read it. 2. OFF TOPIC (OT) POSTS: For example, THANK YOU's, PASSWORD QUESTIONS, "TEST" EMAILS, REMOVAL, etc: Since this is now such a high traffic list, we're sorry but can no longer tolerate off topic posts! We have members leave almost everyday due to receiving too many emails. They all complain that there are too many OT posts, too many *thank you's* and too many emails regarding list operation or passwords posted to the list. The administration is ALL FOR humor, and thanking fellow members for help, so PLEASE continue to do this, but unfortunately, it CANNOT be done ON list! Please DO NOT post these type of emails to the list. Send the thank you's (i.e. "thanks, I'll try that", etc.) privately to the individual's email address and not to the list. If you have nothing to contribute to a post, please DO NOT reply to it. By ONLY posting to the list emails that help ALL members, ONLY posting emails that are ON TOPIC and not off topic, and NOT deleting the previous emails on a thread, can we keep & insure that all emails posted to the list will be of use to ALL of our valued members. To sum it up; just use your head guys! :) THINK BEFORE you "reply", just simply ask yourself, "will this reply make sense"? And, "will this reply be of benefit to ALL members"? Remember, your posts and replies to posts are now being seen by over 900 members worldwide!! Don't forget we have a chat list just for OT posts! (See #7 in FAQ's below). 3. [Edited] Please SIGN YOUR NAME and BUSINESS NAMES to your posts!! Tech's like to know to whom they are replying. Easiest way to do this is to just create a signature file. All email programs are capable of this. [Edited] .........................In addition, please do not remove the previous header information from the email thread. This means, when you reply to a post, please do NOT remove the email address and name from the email for the member you are replying to. When this is done, members have no way of knowing who sent the original post (or the last email in an ongoing thread) or how to respond to them if a private email is warranted. Also to a lesser extent: 1. Please include ALL PREVIOUS TEXT of an email thread when you reply to a post. A reply without the original post is useless and is like listening to a one-sided telephone conversation. This means the original post, and ALL replies (if more than one) that have been sent to a specific post (known as the 'thread'). In short, just click "reply" and BE SURE ALL OF THE TEXT is in YOUR REPLY that was in the post you are replying to. This way, ALL members can read any reply to post and get an immediate history of all replies up to that point, as well as the original problem. (See #5 in FAQ's below).
