[Hidden-tech] Please be considerate of your fellow list readers and your list moderator

[Rich Roth]

Please be considerate of the those you have to read your posts,
most of us get 100's (or 1000's) of messages a day and can't study each post
to tell what it really means*--->> make the subject mean something.
*        (This goes double for your beleaguered list moderator)*

Prevent Tread Drift*

1) be more conscious of list subjects when responding on a similar but different topic,
if different, then make a new post - no old content
if close then change the subject

2) Making a meaningful subject in the first place helps

3) Never reply to a digest message without using a new subject

*Compose messages more targeted*

This is more for new timers - most of the regular posters know this

1) One topic per post

2) Do not use reply to when making a new post - start a fresh message and send to the list
address,
which is HT-discuss <Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net>

I can't tell you how many replies are sent to the bounce address - which does not get to
the list

3) review the policies - if you're not sure what they mean - ask the webmaster at hidden-tech.net
http://www.hidden-tech.net/lists/posting.html

4) Search for older messages before asking:  (search on top of home page)
The newer content is not always at the top of a search response, so go a page
or 2, looking at the dates.

Note: Any suggestions on how to improve our goggle indexing would be helpful,
we've had some issues with google indexing the latest list content,

And a few other notes:
*Please Do NOT post lists or service emails to the List *
                (Linkedin, Evite, Facebook messages)

1) Linkedin has a 'invite from my address book' that a number of people have used, so:
        How do I withdraw an invitation to connect?
        https://help.linkedin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26
<https://help.linkedin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26>

2) Do not include HT Discussion list email when sending announcements:

If you include the HT discussion list email address and others on the same email,
then you have just sent your whole TO/CC list to every one on the HT list,
and, when they reply, the reply will go to everyone on your original TO list.
not really a good thing.
