important reminder about list posts - PLEASE read.

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

SFBAVEG is your list to discuss veganism, vegetarianism and animal rights. As a courtesy to your fellow members, please be mindful of the most common problems we see with posts.

 

1) Unsigned/anonymous: Not everyone has your email address memorized with your name. Please sign your emails or put your name in your email header. If you're not willing to sign your name to it, it can't be worth saying.

 

2) Unnecessarily long/convoluted replies: Cut it out! As a courtesy to your fellow readers, especially those on digest, please eliminate unnecessary original text in emails (it's such a waste when a reply is only 3 sentences long and the original text is 3 screens long, or contains replies from 2 or 3 previous emails). In a digest, which is a compilation of one day's messages, it's impossible to follow the discussion and individual contributions.

 

So, if you submitted a message but didn't see it published, please check your "sent" folder to make sure you signed it and/or trimmed unnecessary text in emails. Your volunteer admins (Karen, Doug, Chris, and myself) are no longer sending individual courtesy emails about the above. Note: not all messages are monitored, so you may occasionally see posts that don't adhere to these guidelines posted.

 

These actions are little, but they go a long ways towards keeping this list as a useful and meaningful local community resource. So, please, take a minute as you compose your emails.

 

Thanks,

Tammy

List Owner
