ADMIN: Few Friendly Reminders

[Penny & Bryce]

Hi --

Based on the messages of this past week, just a few reminders about List 
Rules:

1.  Do not post one-liners.  This of course means no "me too" posts, but 
it also means that you shouldn't post something that just says "I think 
XXXXX."  Tell us *why* you think XXXX.  Just posting "I think XXX" 
doesn't really add much to the discussion.

2.  Do not ask that people "shut up" about specific topics.  It's rude & 
unnecessary.  If there's a topic or thread that you find disinteresting 
or ridiculous but others seem to be enjoying it, just skip the posts 
and/or start a new thread of conversation.  There's no need to rain on 
someone else's parade.  There are well over 3000 people on this list, so 
you can't expect that you'll be interested in *everything* that others 
want to discuss.

3.  Please keep your subject headings relevant.  Make it a habit to 
always check your subject heading before hitting send.

4.  Snip off extraneous quoted material, particularly from the bottom of 
your message if you are replying to a message.

Incidentally, it is the most reader-friendly format to include a brief 
section of quoted material or summary of someone else's thoughts (with 
it clearly marked who said what), adding your own thoughts (with white 
space in between) *after* the quoted material or summary.

Thanks!  Be sure to email the moderators or your List Elf off-list if 
you have any questions about list rules or policy.
