Focus on one topic per message. List your request for personal responses and your email address at the beginning and end of such a message. If you only check your e-mail once per week, please look ahead and see if a topic has been exhausted before posting and again asking if there is any information available on the topic. If you have new information to add, make sure that the topic of interest has not been covered in the string of correspondence that has occurred that week. If you find that what you want to discuss has been covered, please post only that information that would add new dimensions or facets to the discussion.
Redundant postings can become cumbersome in such a medium as e-mail.
Include your name, title, organization, and email address at the bottom of all messages. This will encourage personal messages to be sent to just one person. Most e-mail programs will do this automatically if they have a signature function. Check the menus at the top of your screen for adding your signature. Never copy a personal message sent to you as an individual and post to an e-net without the permission of the sender.
