GEN: Holidays Ending & Replying to LM_NET Messages

[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@ERICIR.SYR.EDU>]

Dear LM_NET Colleagues,

  As the holidays come to an end the number of messages posted to LM_NET
appears to be on the increase. Therefore, we should all be on our best
behavior when posting to the group or replying to messages which have been
posted by others.

  Here is a tip from the LM_NET Etiquette which might be worth keeping in
mind:

7. Be _extremely_ careful when replying to the sender of an LM_NET
message. Many e-mail systems will automatically send your reply to the
entire list of LM_NET members if you simply use a reply command. When an
individual asks a question that you can answer, just send it to the
individual who posted the original message to which you are responding.
Imagine how it would feel to have a very "personal" or revealing message
read by thousands of people!

Happy New Year!
