What are
the rules of listserv etiquette?
When sending
messages to LISTSERV, please keep the following suggestions in mind. They will
help keep the group user-friendly for everyone.
Please include a subject
line in each posting (it's a good idea for ALL e-mail).
Keep each line in your
message shorter than 70 characters. Longer lines can cause problems with some
e-mail systems.
Do not include lines
consisting only of "=" signs, since they too cause some systems problems except
for the one that most mail programs generate after your header and before
your message.
When replying to another
message, try to refrain from quoting entire messages. Paraphrasing or quoting
selectively is preferred. -At the end of your message, include your name and
your electronic mail address (this is your electronic "signature".) Because
it can be difficult to interpret e-mail addresses, you are encouraged to include
your institutional affiliation. -Long signatures are discouraged. They may
be humorous the first time, but get old quickly (and take up valuable net
bandwidth and computer space). 2-4 lines should be sufficient to include any
necessary information.
Be careful when replying
to the author of a list message. The e-mail system will send your reply to
the entire list if you simply use a reply command.
Reread what you wrote.
Did you really say what you intended to? Once a message is sent, it cannot
be retrieved. -Flames: a "flame" is an emotionally charged posting, and is
often directed at someone. Be sure you really want to post it, and remember
than some lists do not tolerate flames.
To signal humorous intent,
use emoticons. Facetiousness and sarcasm can be misunderstood easily within
electronic communication.
Please be considerate
of others. Through inexperience or limited local software, list members may
inadvertently violate the above suggestions. A private message to the offender
from an experienced friend or from the list owners is more appropriate than
a public flame.
DO NOT SHOUT. The use
of all uppercase letters is considered shouting, and therefore rude. Part
of the problem with all caps is that it is harder to read than mixed case.
The other problem is that since facial expression and tone of voice are missing
from electronic communication, some way to express strong opinions (both positive
and negative) is needed, so ALL CAPS has been designated.
