Hello everyone, Thought you might find these reflections useful to pass on to your fellow listserve participants or newbies when they join. Cheers, Leo ------ 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.
