GEN: How to Maintain Your Quick LM_NET "Postability"

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

Dear LM_NET Colleagues,

   Here is a friendly reminder for avoiding the "review" delay (and
   a big thanks to those who do this!) One of our most time-consuming
   tasks has to do with reviewing postings for new and resubscribed
   LM_NETers (plus those set to review who lack ID.)

   LM_NET has 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):

  LM_NET is a community, and we want to know those who participate in our
discussions. A full ID at the end of your message gives us a quick and
reliable way to get to know you.

  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 14,000+ 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!
