[nagdu] an addition to Please Read: Reducing List Traffic

[Michael Hingson]

All,

I would like to add to what Marion has said.  When replying to a message and
continuing a thread please do not change the nature of the thread without
also changing the subject line.  Discussions have run far outside the scope
of a particular thread while the same subject line is still being used to
identify what your message is about.  It is fine to change the subject line
when you change the direction of a thread.  In fact, it helps all of us
quickly see what we are really about to read.

Thanks for your cooperation. 


Best,


Michael Hingson

Subject: [nagdu] Please Read: Reducing List Traffic
Importance: High

Dear All,
    One of my priorities for this list is to reduce the traffic by keeping
mesages substantive and on-topic. I have sent messages to several people
off-list, including the individual who posted the message about the Talking
Book reader, urging them to help this priority. Discussing the fact that a
message is off-topic is as much off-topic and a violation of this list's
guidelines as the original post. I want to ask everyone to let the
moderators of this list handle these issues and not add to the traffic on
this list  by continuing such threads.
    On a similar note, we are seriously considering limiting the number of
messages any single subscriber can post to the list in an effort to reduce
the traffic. To avoid this measure, I want to ask everyone to take ownership
of this issue and consider whether or not a message on the thread would add
to the discussion of the topic. I would also ask that messages directed to
an individual be sent to that individual off-list. Remember that we have
about 250 subscribers who are a part of this list because of the valuable
information that can be gleaned from it. If your message should not be sent
to all 250 subscribers, please take it off-llist. Your cooperation is
greatly appreciated!

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala, President
