[wellylug] Mailing List Etiquette

[Jethro Carr]

hi Tim, Steve, and other new mailing list users,

just a friendly pointer about posting on the wellylug list


It doesn't bother me much, but various people don't like it/hate it when
people post HTML emails or do top-posting.

There should be a setting under a menu like "format" that allows you to
make your email plain text.

And most people are usually happy with bottom posting, so it's best to
get into the habit of using that particular method.

---------

Finally, this is something that will apply to A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS
LIST:

Please don't change a thread's topic when you could just as easily start
a new email. (as Simon pointed out)

Or, if the thread does deviate from it's original topic, it's usually a
good idea to rename the title of it, to reflect the change.

And don't start a completely new thread by replying to an existing
email, and then removing all it's content.


thanks,
