First of all, always remember to reply to all on the list. That keeps
everyone in the loop.
Second, don't 'top post'. Write your comments at the end of the
thread so that people can follow the conversation. Sometimes its
useful to intersperse comments in someone's previous email.
"Sometimes"? I would say "almost always".
Please trim your replies. There is absolutely no need to repeat the ENTIRE
comment thread, over and over and over again. Just quote what you need to
establish context, and when directly answering a question or comment.
Otherwise, good advice: keep replies to the list unless you are making a
personal/private comment, and email should be more like
> Question
Answer
> Question
Answer
instead of:
Answer
Answer
> Question
> Question
(And yes, I deliberately had one fewer answer than question in the second
case. Top posting makes it MUCH easier to miss questions.)
