- Guidelines aka Net Etiquette
- Post only messages which deal with the list's stated purposes.
- Be kind and help newbies
- Don't type your message in all capital letters - they're hard to read. This is known as SHOUTING and may provoke flaming. Also, all lower-case letters can be hard to read.
- Use descriptive subject lines. e.g. include parish and year
- Do not quote the entire digest in a reply
- Do not pass along warnings about Internet viruses or any other threat without first checking with the Virus Hoaxes and Net Lore page or Symantec Corporation Virus Hoaxes page. This is a common trap for Internet beginners. Try to be the smart one who knows how to end the hoax instead of perpetuating it.
- Use the same courtesy as you would extend to someone you were having a phone conversation with but realize that no one can hear your tone of voice. Use Emoticons and Abbreviations to express yourself.
- Wait overnight to send emotional responses to messages. If you have a really strong difference of opinion take your argument off list and settle your differences via private messages.
- Avoid signature lines which contain a surname list. They result in frustration for persons searching the archives since every message will be returned as a surname match irrespective of the subject.
- Avoid sending messages which are no more than gratuitous replies to replies. Thank them privately.
- Have fun!
