You may want to peruse the famous Netiquette guide by Arlene Rinaldi, especially the section on mailing list etiquette: http://www.fau.edu/netiquette/net/dis.html Very smart advice from decades of collective wisdom on how these things work. Those of you who haven't checked it in a while may wist to review. Some great points from Arlene: ******************************************************************* - Keep your questions and comments relevant to the focus of the discussion group. - If another person posts a comment or question that is off the subject, do NOT reply to the list and keep the off- subject conversation going publicly. [This next one is my favorite, people are so predictable....] - When someone posts an off-subject note, and someone else criticizes that posting, you should NOT submit a gratuitous note saying "well, I liked it and lots of people probably did as well and you guys ought to lighten up and not tell us to stick to the subject". [And finally, since Mr. CH only subscribed on Monday, this next one should be particularly relavant...] - When you join a list, monitor the messages for a few days to get a feel for what common questions are asked, and what topics are deemed off-limits. This is commonly referred to as lurking. When you feel comfortable with the group, then start posting. ******************************************************************** A lot more good advice there, check it out. And yes, I am an asshole. My daddy was an asshole before me, and his daddy an asshole before him. Very long, proud asshole tradition. You'll just have to get over it. ;-) kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
