For the "Tom"s of the world, here is the revised list with some additions as suggested:
Proper etiquette when posting to a list or forum! When posting to a list or forum, please comply with the following "rules:" 1. Turn off Return Receipt Requests. 2. Please search the Archives and FAQ. 3. Do not add attachments unless specifically asked to do so. 4. Only add .zip or .txt attachments. Others waste bandwidth and are larger. 5. Do not post in html format. This size of a message in HTML is a lot larger than that of plain text. This is a problem for those on dial-up and those with PDAs. 6. Understand what it is you want to ask, and visit: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html 7. Delete unnecessary text when quoting a post. It is wasting bandwidth. 8. Do not use a "DIGITAL SECURITY Signature". It wastes bandwidth and causes problems to some users, like those with PDAs. 9. If you change the topic or direction thereof, change the subject line. 10. If you want a good answer, provide good details. 11. Please allow time for people to respond to your post. We are working too. Plus, some lists are known to be slow to post. 12. Please do not include lines of company/private legal disclaimer. You are sending to a list. It is going to be resent to everyone on that list. This translates into no longer being a private or confidential message. 13. Do not include any line as part of a message "signature" like, "If you have received this communication in error..." 8:12 PDT 07/10/02 John Tolmachoff IT Manager, Network Engineer RelianceSoft, Inc.
