FLASH: Postings to the List

[i.g.n.i.t.i.o.n.]

Howdy flashers


    I dont know about others, but there's increasing amounts of one-liners

and person-specific list mail occuring, and, well, it's getting a bit

annoying - I love reading through this newsgroup, and find the list and the

people are a fantastic wealth of information and support.  I endeavour to

read all emails in the list, time permitting, because there is so much

valuable information to be gained.  But lately it's been a tedious task

reading one-liner postings that seem to have no relevance - more than often

accompanied by a large thread of tag-lines and trailers which serve no

value.  Not trying to pick in particular, but, for example, this mail has

more personal link advertising than useful information.


    I know it's all been asked before, and seems to not make a difference to

some - but I think many will agree some good guidelines to stick by are:

    * If your response to a post is only to benefit a person directly, try

posting it to them directly, instead of the list server

    * When replying to messages, delete the trail of tag-lines and footers -

especially where the same footer appears over and over and over again

    * Only post one-liners that are helpful and informative - and where you

post a short reply, try to include parts of the thread that let people know

what it is you're on about!

    * Keep a good sense of humour and fellowship in the list!


    Well hope this isn't too out of place.  I know my personal input has

been really limited, but I think this list is fantastic and I'm hoping these

suggestions will benefit everyone

    And Gina, I wasn't trying to pick on you in particular!  You've actually

posted a helpful response ;-)


Cheers
