Private mail to fellow members should be courteous. Members have the right to forward mail they believe constitutes gross abuse or harrassment to the management committee for review, without the author's permission. The list of addresses must not be used for commercial purposes, or for the distribution of chain letters. Names and contact details on the geo-database must not be divulged to people who are not members of the WPM or the scientific panthism mailing list. Breaking of this rule will result in immediate expulsion and a change of the URL of the geo-database.
Short letters are FAR more likely to be read than longer ones.
Please do not quote the message you are replying to in full. Full quoting can lead to double-sized messages, which if requoted become treble etc etc. If you want to quote selected passages which you are replying to, you can. The style of post that quotes a whole message and butts in with a response every few lines is discouraged. It creates a hostile impression and does not make for good reading for those people not involved in the dispute.
