Dear List members, A big thanks to all debaters so far, I've been enjoying it and think we're doing well. At this stage I thought some further user tips may be digestible: 1. Don't worry - lots of people make mistakes on Lists. We'd rather have participation than prissyness! 2. If you go to this web page you can see archives of all messages, arranged by month. <http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/new-media-curating.html> You can join, leave reply to messages etc. on this page. You can also view messages by author, by date, or by topic/thread. To do the latter, click the light bulb icon. 3. Keeping to a topic or thread can really help people in following the debate. If you want your reply to refer to a particular topic, then make sure you keep exactly the same words in the 'Subject' field of your email (for example, to keep in the "Gripping Topic" thread, then keep "Gripping Topic" in the subject heading of your email. "RE: Gripping Topic" is also OK. 4. Anything that you email to [log in to unmask] will be sent to all 150 list members. Which is fine if that's what you wanted to do. So, watch out when using your 'reply-to' buttons. List messages will arrive with the sender's personal name on them, but if you 'reply-to' then you may be sending to the whole list not one person - check what's in your email headers! 5. So, please DON'T email anything to the above address which is a technical help query, or if you want to join or leave the list. Details on how to do these things were in your welcome message, are on the web page above, and also available to download from the web page from the section called "Files associated with this list" (get the file called "about.rtf"). 6. In the interests of those with slow connections: a) Please don't 'attach' any documents to your messages. b) If quoting from previous messages, keep the important bits and delete the rest. c) Please don't use the list simply to promote your latest show! Other Lists are better for that anyway. We'd prefer debate about the curatorial issues of shows, constructive criticism and tasty gossip. 7. Everybody be nice!
