Yes indeed. But may I also add a couple of points?
1. If we know that a particular individual has books or open source software
to share and willing to do so, then I send my request directly to the
recipient rather than the list.
2. My past experience made me realize the fact that when we have people with
different points of view on a subject, there will be some who sticking to
their guns and henceforth there is no point in cluttering everyone's
mailboxes with his/her view even if it is completely rational.
Vetri.

Subject: [AI] Posting on the list- suggestions
Dear Accessindia members,
Most of you will agree that numerous mails are being sent to the list
without giving it much thought. I try & do the following before sending
any mail to the list. It may be of some help.
1. When I send a mail to the list, I am aware of my responsibility. I am
always aware that since the mail is going to a very big list I have to
make sure that my mail has relevance to a big portion of the list &
accurate information.
2. I read the recent mails sent over the last few days to make sure that I
am not repeating anything.
3. I don't just reply to any mail. I read all the mails at of that day to
make sure that no one already has sent the information I am thinking of
sending. This also helps in avoiding sending redundant information.
4. Although I am confident of my English & typing I read & correct the
mail before sending it.
5. I make sure that my email does not have offensive language or is
pointing to any specific member.
We AI members have to take more responsibility for the mails we send to
the list. We should take it as a valuable opportunity & try & add more &
more value to the mails we send. One useless email on the list spoils
thousands of minutes of valuable time that the hundreds of list members
spend on reading it.
