Checklist for Participating in Mailing Lists

Questions to ask yourself before posting a message to a mailing list:

1.  Is the message being sent TO the appropriate destination (the whole list or one or more selected individual(s)?

2.  Is the subject line descriptive of my message?

3.  Have I included only enough of any past message that my message refers to so that other list members know what I am referring to?

4.  Is my message as brief as possible, and have I referred interested parties to a web site or other method of getting additional information (oroffered to send more information via e-mail for those who want it)?

5.  Have I attempted to express appreciation to list members who have made a useful contribution to the list?

6.  If I have disagreed with someone else's ideas, have I attempted to avoid a personal attack against them?

7.  Have I attempted to ignore or defuse anything which I consider apersonal attack against me?

8.  Does my message say something more than "me too" - does it say *why* I

agree, give another example of the point being made, or in some way add to the message?

9.  Have I offered to summarize the replies to any question I asked?

10.  Have I signed the message, and included my e-mail address in the body?

11.  Did I proofread the message?

What is a Discussion List?

A Discussion List is an Email-based discussion group or forum, similar to live chat, but using email for the discussion medium.

Public Discussion Lists can be a great way to meet folks from all over the world who share similar interests, to solve problems, to discuss any topic at any time, as each list has a charter (or what the list's purpose or main topic is).

Private Discussion Lists are excellent for boards of directors, internal company communication s, non-profit organization or volunteer discussion, small circles of friends, and anything where the public is not invited or the list membership is controlled.
