Re: CS[List Owner] Etiquette reminder...

[John E. Stevens]

Hey, mike;

Please do me a favor.  Dissolve me into cyper space from your silverlist of
clowns.  Brooks Bradley is the only person who has anything to say that is
meaningful, but I know most of what he's been talking about anyway.  I
haven't learned anything from your We-We community-life in the time I've
been on your list and I'm on other health lists that  are much more
beneficial than this one. But then, again, I've been involved with
alternative health for 35 years.  You folks are dangerous to newbies and
even experienced others in giving some un-backed info out - that you read
somewhere - and not from experience.  Thanks, it's been fun tantalizing all
of you.  Have a great life and stay fat...

 Hi folks,

 I've been asked if I'd post a reminder on a couple if list etiquette
 items that are being neglected lately. I agree that it's appropriate.

 Trimming text:

 When you hit reply and then type a few lines of text at the top, please
 realize that the WHOLE POST you're responding to is quoted in yours,
 along with several more previous messages in many cases! It's there,
 even if you don't see it in the editing window! Just hit down-arrow a
 few dozen times and you'll realize just how ridiculously wasteful your
 message is!

 Please delete all but the relevant parts of the post you're replying
 to, leaving enough so your readers have context for your remarks.

 Thanks!

 The other matter is one of noise level.

 People ask questions, others give answers. We get the occasional heads-
 up on political or regulatory issues. Folks post their experiences or
 report on what they're doing or things they've found. All of that is
 content that is appropriate for what we're here to do.

 One liners saying Thank you! Great post! or Me too! and variants
 thereof... add very little to the discussion, yet often account for a
 large fraction of daily message volume.

 Now, I fully understand that our mommas all taught us to be polite.
 It's just good manners to be thankful and say so... I'll make two
 suggestions:

 Send it privately to the one person for whom it really matters to know
 you are grateful.

 Or, collect up the names of those who've responded to you and send
 'batch' thank-yous to the list that acknowledge several at once.

 When you hit reply, the list address will be in the To: or Addressee:
 field of your message editor by default. You're going to have to
 manually cut and paste the oringal author's address there, unless
 you're lucky and your mail editor gives you the chance to choose other
 options.

 Now, these are only guidelines, so you won't be breaking any rules if
 you forget, and I don't want to hear any apologies out there, either!

 Just, as we go forward, please ask yourself if the message you're about
 to send falls into one of these catagories and consider re-addressing
 it or not sending it this time. And trim your text, too!

 Thank you!

 Be well,

RE: CS[List Owner] Etiquette reminder...

[Neville Munn]

Hey, can you do me a favour before you disappear into cyber space?  I wanna 
know if you've had any personal experience with changing colour using EIS?  Do 
what you want but I want to know.  I'm holding the ball here ready for strike 
three and my arms getting tired!

 

If I don't get my answer then I'm gunna have to assume you're only going on 
what you've read as well, with no evidence!

 

C'mon, don't leave me hanging here, I'm going for the perfect score.

Gee... with the immensity of his competence, he can't follow the same 
simple instructions that allowed him to sign up in the first place?

More technical naivete?

 Brooks Bradley is the only person who has anything to say that is
 meaningful, but I know most of what he's been talking about anyway. 

And in all the years I've known that man, never has he been the 
slightest measure less than a perfect gentleman.

John is no gentleman.

 I haven't learned anything ...

Because his mind is closed and he hasn't shut his mouth long enough to 
hear a word anyone else has said.

 Thanks, it's been fun tantalizing all of you. 

How much does he charge for the whole package, I wonder?

Shows the kind of generous spirit... he entirely lacks.

 Have a great life and stay fat... 

He's got us surrounded, the poor bastard.

His last wish has been granted.

CS[List Owner] Etiquette reminder...

[M. G. Devour]

Hi folks,

I've been asked if I'd post a reminder on a couple if list etiquette 
items that are being neglected lately. I agree that it's appropriate.

Trimming text: 

When you hit reply and then type a few lines of text at the top, please 
realize that the WHOLE POST you're responding to is quoted in yours, 
along with several more previous messages in many cases! It's there, 
even if you don't see it in the editing window! Just hit down-arrow a 
few dozen times and you'll realize just how ridiculously wasteful your 
message is!

Please delete all but the relevant parts of the post you're replying 
to, leaving enough so your readers have context for your remarks. 

Thanks!

The other matter is one of noise level.

People ask questions, others give answers. We get the occasional heads-
up on political or regulatory issues. Folks post their experiences or 
report on what they're doing or things they've found. All of that is 
content that is appropriate for what we're here to do.

One liners saying Thank you! Great post! or Me too! and variants 
thereof... add very little to the discussion, yet often account for a 
large fraction of daily message volume.

Now, I fully understand that our mommas all taught us to be polite. 
It's just good manners to be thankful and say so... I'll make two 
suggestions: 

Send it privately to the one person for whom it really matters to know 
you are grateful.

Or, collect up the names of those who've responded to you and send 
'batch' thank-yous to the list that acknowledge several at once.

When you hit reply, the list address will be in the To: or Addressee: 
field of your message editor by default. You're going to have to 
manually cut and paste the oringal author's address there, unless 
you're lucky and your mail editor gives you the chance to choose other 
options.

Now, these are only guidelines, so you won't be breaking any rules if 
you forget, and I don't want to hear any apologies out there, either!

Just, as we go forward, please ask yourself if the message you're about 
to send falls into one of these catagories and consider re-addressing 
it or not sending it this time. And trim your text, too!

Thank you!

Be well,

Mike Devour

Thanks very much for this suggestion.

After a recent weekend I found nearly 400 messages in the Silver List 
folder, and was frustrated that so many were one-liners of the kind you 
mention below -- more than half, I think.   My feeling is that thanks 
messages would be appropriate only when the poster has some kind of 
follow-up comment, or seeks additional information or clarification.


If all members follow this advice,  I'll bet the volume will be cut by 
half or more, and the list reading experience will be much more 
pleasurable.
