* Posting Etiquette *

[Guest guest]

Greetings!

 

As we have a lot more people on the list and more posting, it is a

good time to remind people of email etiquette.

 

When replying to emails on the list, please edit the previous email's

text down to those items you are referring to. You may not even need

previous text included. Many people on this list are on the " Digest "

form of email, so in one email may be the same text over and over

again if left unedited.

 

Please be sure the subject line correctly reflects the actual subject

of the post. Some email subjects may change after a series of

replies. Changing the subject line will better inform people of the

content in case they wish to read/not-read the email. An accurate

subject line helps everyone. So when replying to an email, double

check your subject line for accuracy.

 

Please respect others on the list and keep posts on-topic. If you

feel compelled to (really really really want to) post an email that

you feel the members would wish to read, at least type " OT " (Off

Topic) at the beginning of the subject line. Again, this will better

inform people of the content in case they wish to not read the email.

It shows respect to others on the list. Some are looking only for

emails with specific subjects. Some just do not have the time for

off-topic posts. We discourage off-topic posts, but understand there

may be rare occasions when members wish to share these.

 

Like any list or group of people, we have a diverse/eclectic group

and have a variety of backgrounds and opinions. Please share your

feelings and opinions while honoring and respecting those of others.

Please do not attack the character of others when they believe

differently. Please also keep language appropriate for a family list,

so we may continue appealing to a broader audience.

 

We, of course, do not allow spam. On occasion someone signs up for

the list for the purpose of spamming, so some spam may get through.

Your moderators will quickly and swiftly (if we are paying attention)

remove such " members. " We will do our best to keep the list an

enjoyable place to share questions and ideas about raw foods.

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff
