GEN: An Etiquette Tip

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

Dear LM_NET Colleagues,

Here is a tip from the LM_NET Etiquette Guidelines that is worth
considering whenever you are tempted to write to someone who posts a weird
or seemingly inappropriate message to this group:

20. Please be considerate of others. Through inexperience or limited local
   software, list members may inadvertently violate these guidelines. A
   private message to the offender from an experienced friend or from the
   list owners is more appropriate than a public flame. Our LM_NET
   Hospitality Committee may have already contacted the person regarding
   the inappropriate posting.

LM_NET has a Hospitality Committee that is here to assist and guide us
when needed. In most cases, we may have already contacted the person in a
friendly and supportive manner. If you have any questions about the
etiquette or appropriateness of a certain message, please contact me and I
will do my best to get a quick answer from our committee.

Best wishes,


Peter Milbury, Co-owner of LM_NET          pmilbury@ericir.syr.edu
