I'd like to take a moment and remind everyone that Mosaic is a very large list - over 2000 people. We've had a number of things happen recently so I thought it a good time to review some basic list etiquette.
1. CONTACT THE PERSON NOT THE ENTIRE LIST When having a side conversation or request for materials don't send out a message to over 2000 people. Contact the INDIVIDUAL. This also applies to thank-you's, "me too", "I agree", and other personal questions/requests. The individual's email address is in the email header - contact the individual off-list. ***If you have material to share and would like to have it posted on the Mosaic website, please contact me off-list and I will work with you to post the resources on the website. 2. DELETE OR EDIT PREVIOUS CONTENT "Think Green" with your words! When replying, please DELETE all of previous post OR EDIT previous post to a bare minimum of words that relate to your reply. We also have messages rejected by the server because they are so long. Mostly this is a problem for people who read the digest. They have to scroll through pages and pages of quoted material. 3. No Subject or "Mosaic Digest" Subject We've all send messages without subjects. If you are replying to a "no subject" or generic "digest" subject, please change the subject to fit the content of the message. The same is true when a thread changes from one topic to another topic. Please make sure the subject relates to the content. Thanks to everyone for continued cooperation in list etiquette.
