Headers and footerts was..... For goodness' sake, people!

[Guest guest]

Folks,

For those members who may not be used to

Lists and Forums, the issues being discussed here are:

Changing

the subject line in a thread – an example is what I have done with

this mail. It is good practice to show the new subject if the thread has

changed course, together with a reference to the old subject so that

people can go back and read older posts if they are interested.

Deleting

unnecessary previous postings – this is especially valid when the

subject matter has changed, but should be done in all cases. It is easy

to do – simply highlight the bits that are superfluous and delete

them.

Taking these two steps will save time,

especially for those who do not receive their messages in e-mail format, but

read off the site.

Having said that, although I do try to remember

to do this, I must admit that I fail from time to time – probably more

regularly than I think!!. And Laurel,

I had to smile to myself when I read your mail. What does the title <snip>

For goodness’ sake, people! <snip> tell anyone about the content of

your posting? <grin>

I just wish that people would make sure that the subject line matches

the content of the post.
