Facetiousness and sarcasm can be misunderstood easily in electronic communication. 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. Keep each line in your message shorter than 70 characters.
Longer lines can cause problems with some e-mail systems.
Before sending, check your message for typos and other errors that may make it hard for others to read or understand. Save this style for a special occasion. Your ideas are important. Just because you think everyone knows something doesn't mean they do. Posting commercial messages without the prior approval of the list owners is prohibited and will not be tolerated.
