Everyone
I would like to point out that Jiscmail has a GUIDELINES ON ETIQUETTE http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/policy/etiquette.htm to which some messages on this list are coming close to breaking if not already having done so. By using the Dis-forum list you are have all agreed to abide by these rules.
* Respect copyright when forwarding messages, if in doubt check with the author
* Respect people's privacy, don't give out the private email addresses or contact details of others
* Think before cross-posting, some people belong to more than one list
* Don't call someone names or be overtly rude, blatantly sarcastic or condescending
* Watch where that reply is going, should it go to the sender or the list?
* Send your commands to the right address, [log in to unmask]
* Make sure your email address is correct
* Complain to the list owner, not the list
* Suspend mail when going away, you can always catch up via the archives
* Don't send attachments to JISCmail lists, use the files area associated with your list
* Use a meaningful subject line, it will increase the chances of it being read and found
* Write relevant messages appropriate to the purpose of the list
* Don't quote an entire message when replying this leads to very long messages
* Keep your lines short and don't send long messages, waffle is off-putting
* Use a short, well-designed signature
* Only use ascii (plain) text i.e. don't use pound (£) signs
If that's not enough for you all there is also the ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/policy/index.htm that some of you might benefit from reading.
Calm down people calm down
Regards
Graham Rice
