ADMIN: Trimming, Changing, OT-ing :-)

[Guest guest]

Every now and then we send a reminder about posting - not directed to any

particular

member but for the attention of all. We all forget from time to time - I'm

notorious for it!

 

1. TRIMMING: Please *trim* your posts. When responding to a previous post,

please only

include that part of the previous post which is particularly relevant and

necessary for our

understanding of your response. This is a courtesy to other members so that

their

mailboxes don't fill up too quickly. It also makes the reading of Digests much

easier.

 

2. SUBJECT LINES: Please alter the subject line if you are changing the topic

from the

subject line. If you are responding to a Digest, of course, you must always do

this if we are

to know what your post is about.

 

3. OFF-TOPIC POSTS: On the group description we say, ` Here we share

tried-and-true

recipes, cooking tips and chat about vegetarian meals' - and of course, we

wander off

topic all the time - of course we do and of course that's usually just fine. But

please mark

your subject line with OT so that those who are here just for the recipes and

chat relating

to them can understand that they may, if they wish, safely skip them. (We are

not talking

here about disallowed topics - they are made clear in the Rules - but general

chat about

stuff of interest to vegetarians but not directly relevant to the group.) I am

again one of

those who rarely remembers to mark subject lines OT but I'll try to remember for

the

sanity of those members whose time is precious.

 

Okay, so I'll try to set a good example, but in this case I need bigtime help!

LOL There are

a fair number of people on this list, so even a few forgetful people can make it

a little

messy all round.

 

Thanks, everyone!
