RE: ADMIN: Civility and content

[Paul Hanson <PHanson -at- Quintrex -dot- com>]

Chiming in late, I'm on digest. I think Eric Ray has given us the answer to
"what we should do":
|
Before you post, folks, ask yourself if you'd say the SAME THING in the SAME
WAY in that context in face to face communication. Try it out: Read your
posting to your officemate, partner, boss, or co-workers before you click
Send. Remember that your email contains none of the tonal/facial cues to
irony or humor, and the oft overused ;-) symbols don't really equate.
|
Forget the posting-per-day rule. A newbie, or experienced TWer with 3 issues
in one day should be able to post to get help. If you can't show your boss
your post, don't post it. Period.

Those that say it can't be done should move out of the way of those that are
doing it.
