Listserver Rules and Etiquette
-
When responding
to any GEOXchange list, keep your messages brief.
-
Stick to the
topics intended for discussion on any of the GEOXchange
lists.
-
Avoid sending
messages with limited substance, such as, "I
agree!"
-
Include a signature
tag with every message.
-
Only send a
message to the entire list when it contains information
that everyone can benefit from. If you have a
conflict with an individual or wish to send a
personal message, use private e-mail addresses.
-
Don't be critical
of people's queries posted on GEOXchange. Many
people are new to the concept of a listserver.
Send them a private message and "gently"
make suggestions if you think it is warranted.
We are here to grow, share, and learn from each
other.
-
Do not send
HTML formatted messages. If your e-mail program
can only handle HTML messages, please post messages
from the Web site.
-
Do not ask
your e-mail program to confirm receipt or reading
of messages sent to the GEOXchange address.
-
Do not send
administrative messages, such as "remove
from the list." Use the Web interface to
change your setting or to remove yourself from
a list.
Commercial messages are not
permitted, nor are attachments. If you want to send
someone an attached file or have a product or service
that you believe would help them, please send them
a private e-mail message.
