* Please don't quote extensively/excessively from other
messages. Just include enough to provide context.

GUIDELINES FOR POSTING MESSAGES:


WHAT TO POST
* If it is about technical communication and of general
interest, post it.
* If it is about technical communication and original and
humorous, post it.

WHAT NOT TO POST
* If it doesn't relate to technical communication,
don't post it.
* If it is a personal message to a single subscriber,
don't post it. Even if mail to that person bounces.
* If you aren't sure, don't post it.
* If it relates to language use but not technical
communication, it probably isn't appropriate.
Don't post it.
* If it continues an irrelevant thread in any way
(rebuttal, rebuke, rerun, revision, remark), don't
post it.
* If it is something cute, interesting, or funny that
you found on the Internet (e.g. Dr. Seuss on Tech
Writing, origin of spam), don't post it. I assure
you that most readers have seen it already.

OTHER
* Please make sure your E-mail address is included in
the body of the message you post to the list.
* Please don't quote extensively/excessively from other
messages. Just include enough to provide context.
* Direct all commentary about this message to my
address, not the list.
