APPENDIX H

Discussion List Guidelines

Subscribers are asked to note a few guidelines to ensure that the list runs smoothly.

  1. Do not send attachments (attached files) to the whole group. Instead you can send a message stating what the file is and then allowing people to contact you in order to get the file. Attachments can cause numerous problems not to mention that they tend to overload servers when they are sent out on mailing lists.
  2. When sending a URL, please check the syntax before you send it to ensure that it is correct.
  3. When responding, you do not need to quote the entire message to which you are adding a further comment, however, it helps with continuity if you at least provide some reference to the previous message.
  4. Always include a clear and specific subject line.
  5. Chain letters are forbidden on the server which houses this list.
  6. Please try to stick to the topic as much as possible. There are numerous lists related to numerous topics especially in the areas of French and technology where you can discuss all sorts of issues.
  7. To unsubscribe, send a message directly to me or to majordomo@stemnet.nf.ca but not to credo itself.
  8. Send personal messages to the individual for whom they are intended and not to the entire list. Use the To: line instead of reply for this function.
  9. Be professional, friendly and courteous in your messages.
  10. Tell your friends about credo and encourage them to subscribe!

Hope this helps! Elizabeth
