Posting Etiquette

[Guest guest]

I periodically remind our list of email etiquette. It has been quite a

while and we have had lots of new members join, so here are some things

to keep in mind when posting (even the " old timers " should pay

attention):

 

 

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

text down to those specific 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 people have signed up for

the list for the purpose of spamming, so some spam has gotten through.

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

remove such " members " and have enacted policies to minimize them. We

will do our best to keep the list an enjoyable environment to share

questions and ideas about raw foods. We appreciate your doing your

best, as well!

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff
