Nice comprehensive list of guidelines - thank you, Jane. A couple more points:
Please trim the messages you're replying to. If people don't trim, then the earlier messages in a conversation may be repeated many times; and as Jane says some people are still paying for download time. And when I had a heap of kit to clear out and sell, I asked Avital's permission first. And then just gave a link to my blog page where my stuff was listed in detail. No details on this list, just "I have stuff to sell; here's my link." So I think the rule must be: ask Avital first, then do as she wishes. Best wishes, Margery. ======================================== [email protected] in North Herts, UK ======================================== > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Jane Partridge > Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2011 5:17 PM > <snip> > > The basic rule is not to blatantly advertise your own goods (or those > that you have a financial interest in) - so in the case of a book that > you want to tell everyone about, that is fine as long as you didn't > write or publish it!
