Hey all. Lately the one liner messages have started picking up on list.
This is just a friendly reminder that sending one liner messages like,
thanks, or me too should not be sent to the list. Yes, most of us were
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
in this case. Especially because in most cases, the thank you is really
meant for only 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, usually pressing
reply-to-all will put both the viphone and the person's email address in
the to field. You can then remove the viphone address, and send off that
thank you and it will only go to the person and not to the whole 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. There are always exceptions to the one liner rule as with
everything in life. For example, sometimes you may be answering a
question that someone asked, and the answer is simply "yes" or "no". And
there is nothing else to add to it. So, it's not that one liner messages
are bad, but the useless one liner messages are.
I hate being the bad guy, but I will put people on moderation if they
are found to be sending out thank you or useless one liner messages. I
won't just change your subscription, instead I will write you, copy Cara
Quinn, and respond to the one liner message you sent to show you which
one I'm referring to.
Thanks all, and if you have questions about this, please email me privately.
