Dear LM_NET Colleagues,

   LM_NET has moved to a policy of required identification within all
messages posted to LM_NET. Please start the habit of including
identification in all messages posted to LM_NET. You should be sure to
include your:

1. Name   2. Occupation/Job Title/Worksite   3. e-mail address

  Example:

  Jo Booksworth, Librarian
  Best Elementary, Bestville, CA
  JBOOKSWORTH@BEST.K12.CA.US

  Reasons (in addition to common courtesy):

  The number of unsigned messages has been growing, and many appear to be
unrelated to the purposes of LM_NET.

  The address at the top of the header doesn't identify if the person is
supposed to be on LM_NET (i.e., school librarian or related type). If a
person does not belong on LM_NET, and posts inappropriate questions, it
gives us a way to know if we should filter them out.

  Also, due to characteristics of their e-mail software, many people don't
see the person's return address in their e-mail header, so they must
unnecessarily reply to the entire group.

  With 7,000+ members, and 70+ messages a day being posted, we don't want
to have many inappropriate messages posted, especially from those who are
not in our intended audience.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
