From the LM_NET Etiquette Guidelines: > 1. Be _extremely_ careful when replying to the sender > of an LM_NET message. Many e-mail systems will send your > reply to the entire list of LM_NET members if you simply use a > reply command. > NEVER post a reply message to the list which would not be > of interest to most members. Just send it to the individual who > posted the original message to which you are responding > It is considered wasteful of the time of list members to be > pestered with meaningless (to them) messages which are of value > only to a small number of people. > > 2. Think before you post. Do I really want to say this to the entire > world (LM_NET)? Reread what you wrote. Did you really say what > you intended to? Once a message is sent, it can't be retrieved. > Sending to the individual or to the entire group is an important > consideration. Normally, send only to the individual person who > requested the information. If they receive a lot of replies, they > will probably post them to the group.
