ETIQUETTE Re: Apologies for LMC Handbook Hit

[Josephine Dervan <rderva@injersey.com>]

Dear Peter and all,

I too had difficulty accessing the web site that Wendy sent out. Then I
looked at the address and realized that the second line of the URL had
not been recognized by my mail server. So I added that info to the
original URL and it worked. I also felt very sorry for poor Wendy who
was doing us all a service (great site,Wendy!) and having problems doing
so.

I realize that many of us get frustrated when URLs don't work but it
really isn't fair to castigate someone who takes the time to post a
message to this wonderful listserv. If there is a problem with a posting
like a missing item, wait a few minutes. The poster will probably
correct themselves. If the poster, like me receives the Digest form, it
may be awhile before he sees the mistake. Even then be polite when you
send for a clarification. I've made the same sort of mistake many times
and have always corrected it when I saw it or when it was pointed out to
me.

What may seem to you to be a quick note may be interpreted as a harsh
comment. We all have feelings. Think before you post.

Getting off my soapbox,
Jo
