ADMINISTRATIVE

[Guest guest]

Now that we have over 500 members, list traffic is way up. In order to keep

the list useful, please try to remember the following netiquette

suggestions:

1.THANKING PEOPLE OR OTHER MESSAGES TO ONE OTHER PERSON

Please stop and think before you send a message to the list that will not be

of interest to many or most members. For example, if you want to thank

someone because you asked for info and received it on the list. Thank them

off list rather than send the thank you to the entire list. If the

information is of a huge benefit (Suzi's Checklist for example - a huge

effort benefitting so many),then perhaps a special thank you round of cyber

applause is called for. But for info to just to one individual, an off list

thanks suffices.

2. NEWBIE QUESTIONS

If you have lots of questions because you're new, please " save them up " and

ask several in one post rather than send many posts each one with a new

question.

3. OFF TOPIC BANTER

Off topic subjects and joking around are fun for all and keep the list

friendly and fun to read. However it can get out of hand. A couple of

these now and then are fine. When they start " taking over " the list, it's

time to get back on track.

CHANGING YOUR E-MAIL OPTIONS

Every so often someone complains about receiving too much mail from the

group. However there are three different options available: You can receive:

1) individual e-mails

2) one daily digest

3) no e-mail at all.

The people who don't get any e-mail can read the list at their leisure by

going to the website.

You can change your option by going to the home page at:

/

Just click on " Edit my membership " in the upper right hand corner.

Then, give it a day or two to change. is a busy place and the change

sometimes has a " lag " effect.

Thank you all in advance.
