I know that various complaints of the following nature have been written at
various times
over the months and years that I've ( we've ) been on this (and other)
lists, but please consider
the following as list etiquette. I am not the list master, but I certainly
am an equal member of this
group and feel we all should'nt have to put up with the following type of crap:
1. When quoting emails from others regarding a subject that you would like
to comment
on, please regard the length of what you're quoting. For instance, someone
writes
a 50 line comment, someone responds to *one section* of the quote and in
the process
quotes*the whole damn thing*! Generally these responses go something like,
"I agree"
or "Yeah, me too" or even "Cool"
* This is a total waste of scrolling/reading time.*
2. I don't know all of the reasons why this happens, but many times people
mistakenly post
what scrolls out to be page after page after page of code, sometimes
postscipt and sometimes
what looks to be open html. I don't know why this happens but if there is
any way to be more careful,
please do.
* Another laborious waste of time. *
3. This could be totally off base, but is'nt there a rule for posting
sales/auctions and the like as a teaser
with an invitation to email privately? I don't know if this is a policy or
if I'm just being a prude. Although I'm
interested in many sales and auctions, I am on the digest and unfortunately
have to scroll and read and
scroll and read and scroll........to get to the next message. Again, I
think its great that sales can go on, but
those on the digest don't have the choice to read past the sales while the
normal subscribers can simple erase
a sale posting and move on. To prove I'm not a hypocrite, email me
privately....soon I will have an email
bid auction for some very cool items: rare Detroit,rare IDM, ambient, d+b,
weird, etc.
Thanks for the read, sorry it's long but there are no quotes and no code
and no open sales...
with respect,
