There have been some excellent strands of communication in recent weeks on this list and far be it from me to stifle postings now that they are flowing freely but in my capacity as list manager can I make an appeal to subscribers to not attach files to messages and to copy only enough of the original message(s) for your contribution to make sense.
Attached files: With these JISCmail lists it seems to be a better idea to paste short sections of text directly into your email. If you have a longer piece of text - or some images - to share, it's probably best to invite readers to visit a website to view these (if possible) or to invite readers to contact you for a copy sent direct from you to them.
Replying to postings: For some readers (those who compile their new messages as one daily digest) the use of replies is leaving an unnecessarily long cascading trail of repeated messages. Please copy only enough of the original message(s) for your contribution to make sense.
If you think these guidelines are too restrictive let's discuss here.
With all good wishes,
Steve Garner
