Re: [Xylo-SDR] Digest frequency and Common Courtesy

["Eric Ellison" <ecellison@comcast.net>]

Don

Thanks for enabling the list, and your comments!

I moved the following to the top! YIKES I was an offender!

________________________________________________________

The largest offenders to both items above is often from digest users
themselves, despite pleas in the digest to trim and change subject line
to something other than "Digest #3 Vol. 2".  Yesterday, a complete
digest was quoted and resent!  (which causes additional digests to be
issued!!!)

Comment to #1:

My drives have 160 mb so I am not concerned with how much I download so I
save everything in my e-mail. I like to 'snipe' at any message on the
subject for links etc.... even my comments (smile) don't (snip) too much! I
keep the entire list on my drive. I do realize however 'visitors' to the web
list would not like all the repeats. 

2. DAMN YES! Let's get it on subject.

Thanks
Eric



However, there is some common list courtesy that all message posters
could observe to help ALL of us out.

1. Please, in replying to a posted message, take a few seconds time to
trim off previous comments which are not needed to experience the
context to which you are replying or commenting on.  This helps us all.
It also shows that you, as a sender, value the other persons time.

2. If appropriate, change the subject of your reply.  This helps in
finding a particular topic in searching the archive.  I know this may
disrupt threading on some email readers, but makes it much easier to
find a message talking about the backplate than to wade through 27
messages all with subject of "enclosure dimensions".  Be creative!


Thanks for reading, your consideration, and your understanding.  This
list is exciting.

73,
