GEN: Why it is important to have a complete e-mail ID

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

Dear Colleagues,

One of the requirements of LM_NET is that one have a complete ID in their
messages posted. Over the years I have noticed that most of us do that. We
identify ourselves by name, job title, school or job location, and include
our e-mail address.

I have listed a few reasons why it is important to always include a
complete ID in e-mail correspondence. Can anyone add to this list? Please
share with the group.

Reasons: ID in one's e-mail...
 shows pride in the work you do and where you do it
 lets people know some basic "professional" things about you
 identifies you as a member of a profession or specialty
 shows pride in the profession and services you provide
 allows people to more easily communicate with you by e-mail
 "advertises" and promotes school library service
