Hey all. This is just a friendly reminder that sending one liner
messages like, thanks, or me too are not welcome on list. Yes, we were
probably taught to say please and thank you when we want to act civil,
but sending it out to the list when there are more than 1400 members is
rude when the thank you is for one person. So, if you want to show
gratitude, do it by sending that thank you message directly to the
person in question. If you don't know how to write them privately, then
reply to the message where they give your answer, but do a reply-to all
instead and then remove the viphone address. That will make the message
go to them directly and not to the entire list.
Also, if you write a message simply agreeing with someone, or saying
something like me too, or something equally useless, please consider if
what you are saying is really adding to the conversation. In most cases,
saying something like me too or I agree, or similar is not adding to the
discussion. Of course I realize that sometimes you may be answering a
question that someone asked, and the answer is of course, Yes, or No.
So, it's not that one liner messages are bad, but the useless one liner
messages are.
I will put people on moderation if they are found to be sending out
thank you or useless one liner messages.
Thanks, and if you have questions about this, please email me privately.
