Please do us a favour - do not return - too boring, too rude and
nothing to contribute - thanks

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,
Mike Devour
