List Rules and Guidelines

  • This section presents some simple guidelines for electronic mail etiquette. It does not try to mandate
    any particular style or rules but try to highlight some important issues which affect the clarity of the email
    we send. After all, email is about communication, so clarity should be our goal. What follows are a few
    rules of thumb for etiquette on the net (netiquette) that will help our list.
  • Always use a meaningful subject line. For example, Keep each line in your message shorter than 72
    characters. Longer lines can cause word-wrap and make readability difficult.
  • When replying to another message, include enough of the original message to provide a context, but
    include only the minimum you need from the original message - paraphrase or quote selectively. It's
    VERY annoying to have a 5-page message quoted back at you in its entirety with the words.
  • At the end of your message, include your name, your email address, or a Keep your signature short -
    four lines is a useful guideline. Unnecessarily long signatures waste bandwidth and can be annoying.
  • Don't post long files that may be of interest to only a few readers, (like lists of specimens for sale or
    full gem show announcements with every detail of a four-day calendar). It's far better to make a concise
    announcement to the whole list, and then ask people who want more details to email you directly.
  • When replying to a message, first ask yourself who you're sending it to, the whole list or just the
    originator of the incoming message. Don't send your message to the whole list if a personal message will
    do. Personal messages are inappropriate, i.e.
  • Think before you post. Have you really said what you want to say ? Reread what you wrote. Once a
    message is sent, it can't be retrieved.
  • Email is not secure. If you don't want Big Brother to read it, don't post it. It's unwise to send personal
    or sensitive information, like credit card numbers, by e-mail.
  • Please be considerate of others. Through inexperience or limited local software, list members may
    inadvertently violate netiquette. When this happens, a private message to the offender from an
    experienced friend or from the list owners is more appropriate than a public flame.
  • A "flame" is an emotionally charged posting, and is often directed at an individual for a breech of
    netiquette. Messages sent in anger only exacerbate the situation and are usually regretted later. It's best
    to settle down and think about your response before starting a flame war.
  • Blatant marketing messages are not allowed on this list, but information is welcome about new
    products and sources. Keep in mind that the staff will not allow off-topic or hyped-up messages
    characteristic of direct-mail marketing. These are often the cause of a flame war.
  • DON'T SHOUT - UNLESS YOU REALLY MEAN IT. The use of all uppercase letters is
    considered shouting, and therefore rude. However, they are useful to express strong opinions (both
    positive and negative).
  • Each list has its own character, just like any real grouping of people. A list functions best when
    members respect each other and recognize the differences and eccentricities among other list members.
