ADMIN: some stuff to help the list run smoother

[Guest guest]

Some things to help the list run a bit smoother (Thanks Pam B :-):

Subject codes (a few):

OT: for any off topic messages

TED

NEWBIEQ: (for all the newbie questions)

ALTMED: alternative medicine

NUTRITION

GENERAL

RAI

LABS

DOCTORS

WOMEN: (for those women issues that come up)

MEN: (so they don't feel left out)

VENTING

Remember to trim messages before sending, esp if you are on digest. Leave

in just enough of the message you are replying to so folk will understand

the context of your reply.

Also remember to change the subject lines if the topic of the message

changes.

Try to avoid a lot of " me too " , " thanks " or very short replies that don't

really contribute to the group discussion. Many time these can be made

directly to the person making the post.

For posts that start to drift into the realm of chit chat or very off

topic, they can be taken to the graves_chat list

(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/graves_chat) so we don't overwhelm the main

list.

I have this set up to post once a month as a reminder and also go out to

new folk when they subscribe. So hopefully this will help folk with

finding the info they need.
