Hello everyone,

Thought you might find these reflections useful to pass on to your fellow
listserve participants or newbies when they join.

Cheers,

Top 7 Laws of List Etiquette For Discussion List Members:

1. Lurk, Listen & Learn before you Post to any discussion list
    or ask any editor or moderator a question that has already
    been answered through the list, its' website or FAQ.

2. Read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) if the site has
    one. This will save you from asking embarrassing questions
    and the other list members will thank you for not wasting
    their time.

3. Be respectful of the list owner or list moderator, and when in
    doubt about any issue, send a private email before sending a
    public email. Also, don't YELL! at the list owner, because he
    or she is a human also, and most folks are glad to help you
    get on or off their list if you're having troubles.

4. Read the instructions on how to get off a list, and then
    follow them. If you are having list admin problems, do not
    send your problems to the list, but rather send them to the
    list owner for handling.

5. When in a hearty debate, remember that you can always respect
    someone's opinion, even though you don't agree with it. Never
    insult someone or attack someone in public, as you are the one
    who will look bad.

6. Keep blatant self promotion off the list at all times.

7. Add value or don't post. Avoid "Me Too's" and one line
    statements unless that's the norm for the list community
    you belong to.
