Dear all
Membership of this list is now close to 400, and that means a lot of
e-mails flying around. Judging by the volume it's continuing a fulfil a
useful service.
May I remind 'old' members and inform relatively new ones that file
attachments should not be sent to this list - they force people to download
sizeable files and can play havoc with the website too! Please just
summarise the information in your message and invite anyone who wants the
whole file to e-mail you off the list for a copy.
If you want to brush up on etiquette or simply find out how to get the most
out of e-mail lists, see the documentation at
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/docs/default.htm
Archives of messages can be seen at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/gem.html
I'd also just remind people of a couple of things that cause minor apoplexy
to list-owners like me:
* setting auto-responds. If you set up an e-mail autorespond when you're
away, please make sure you have suspended your mail from the list first
(and reinstate it when you take off your autorespond). Otherwise people who
send messages receive dozens of 'sorry I'm away' messages from people they
really don't need to hear from.
* changing e-mail address. If you change e-mail address please leave the
list from your old address. You will need to rejoin anyway from the new
address. The list recognises addresses rather than people.
Best wishes
Roland Jackson (list-owner)
