Hi ALL, I have one suggestion to make. To minimize traffic on this list and make it a "Read All" list, i suggest the following rules which are being followed on a different list I am subscribing to to be adopted on this list:
After a question is posted, all replies should go directly ONLY to the person who posted the question. After a satisfactory resolution, the original poster should then post a SUMMARY:, which is a description to what/how the problem was solved, to the list. If responses slow down, and problem has not been resolved, then the original poster can submit an UPDATE: to the status of his problem if not resolved. Finally, if a problem is never resolved, send a SUMMARY anyway, to say that problem was not resolved/or no replies. U might be suprised how many more may reply then, since they always assumed someone else had : -) That way, every post will have mostly 2-3 total entries only. 1. Original Question 2. (Optional)UPDATE & 3. SUMMARY. Heading should be tagged as such too, to show whether this is an UPDATE or a SUMMARY. This makes it easier to filter into peoples mailboxes. That way, it will be very useful to all of us, and future users of mdk. I come across posts that should be offline....like email today said "I can say more offline than here" and then, another email reply goes "I tell you" Those should not belong here in my opinion. Those two lines are 2/116 i received from Sat 10AM to Monday 10AM. Automatically it forces a "HighLight ALL, DELETE" for it takes too long to read all emails...only to find out that a big number should not have been posted to the public to begin with. Let me know what you guys think. BTW, who is the list monitor? _Thanks Richard Mollel ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
