Hello,
It's been a long time since I last sent out the messages you will soon be
receiving.
#1: SUGGESTED GUIDELINES TO GET ANSWERS, and also proper etiquette in
sending & responding to email messages on the list. They are not new, I've
used these suggestions for at least the last 10 years since the lists were
organized. I did not write them, Tim Carter, who was a member of the
original CARTER Family list authored the original message. He gave me
permission to use the same and I've found it quite useful. So, when it comes
please read it and try to use some of the suggestions.
One of the MAJOR COMPLAINTS I've received lately, and to be blunt, it annoys
me also, is the failure to change subject lines. When someone posts a
message to the list, rather than changing the subject line (if the subject
changes), many will continue to tag on that same subject. Even if it has no
bearing on the content of their post. Please, use the appropriate subject
line, I guarantee it will increase the chances of your message being read.
Also, when replying to a message, please try to
<------------<snip>---------------> out unnecessary text. Again, it will
increase the chances your message will be read.
Finally,
#2: Everyone is going to receive an undated copy of the WELCOME MESSAGE to
the particular list. If you haven't read it for a while, once again, please
take time and read it.
Best regards
Charles E. ("Chuck") Carter
