MAILING LIST MANNERS

Minimize subscriptions to what both you and your disk space can handle. If possible get your messages in digest form which wiII cut down on the numbers. Use your personal email account and not a shared school account to subscribe. Save your confirming message for reference. Do not send a personal message as a global post. Reply directly to the person's email address and send SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE messages to the appropriate address. When going away for more than a week unsubscribe or suspend mail. Keep your comments and questions relevant to the focus of the group. Resist the impulse to "flame" someone with whom you disagree.
