[SEL] Snipping and Flaming

[Bill Brueck]

And if I may add another request to our list etiquette, consider adding to
your signature line to tell us where you're from.  I picked this habit up
myself from a nudge on this or some other list a few years back.  And with
the international membership, be sure to include your country.

Subject: [SEL] Snipping and Flaming

Just a polite message to those who post on both of the lists:

Snipping unwanted and unnecessary sections of emails and posts, including
the sig sections and the parts added by both Lists' software should be a de
factor part of every-day usage for ALL of you, not just those who take the
trouble.

Adding jpeg images to your sig may look good to you, but it also adds to the
download time for those on dial-up and serves absolutely no purpose in this
email-based environment. I don't know how that started, but we have a couple
of regulars here that have it on their sig lines.

Posting in HTML is another waste of space and time for those who don't want
to see it or don't have news and email readers that can use it.
HTML code is another back-door entry for viruses, and should not be used for
email.

Take the trouble to READ what is posted, and then read it again!  So many
misunderstandings occur becuase folks think they read something into a post
which just wasn't there. We've all done it, just THINK before hitting the
'send' button.

Basic courtesy should be extended to everyone, not just your mates on the
Lists.
