List Etiquette

List members are asked to read and adhere to the following guidelines for list etiquette. Abusers of this list will have their email address removed and be blocked from the list.

• You are Replying to Everyone
  When you reply to a message, note that you are replying to the entire list, not to the individual who is sending the message.
• Keep Your Posts Trimmed
  When replying to a post, quote only what's absolutely necessary to help readers understand your response. Delete the rest. If sharing an article, post a brief excerpt, then provide the URL where those interested may view the rest. On ALL replies, eliminate automatically generated footers (Yahoo, MSN mail, privacy statements, and others) from the quoted previous post. In addition, please trim email system headers and extra signature lines.

• Use an ALL CAPS Header
  Each post to the list should contain an all-caps header in the subject line. Using a CAPITALIZED HEADER makes it easier for members to scan and read or delete posts, as they prefer. Examples are:

  • QUESTION or Q (for posting questions or answers),
  • ISO (In Search Of),
  • DISCUSSION,
  • SUMMARY (to summarize answers which have been posted to a question),
  • INFO.

  Example: [MCC] ISO: Your best cultural competency resources

• No Email Attachments
  Instead, provide the data as text in your post, offer to provide the data to those who request it, or put it up on the web. Not everyone has the ability to read attachments or wishes to download them.
• Be Respectful
  Be respectful in your responses to others. We come from diverse backgrounds and theoretical orientations. Some of our richest learning experiences can come from lively debate over relevant topics. Post differing opinions, but refrain from negative language or "flaming".
• Keep it Professional
  Take personal interactions off the listserve. It is certainly ok to maintain conversations regarding training, personal development, and other areas of support on the list, but when writing a post such as "Hi Janet! Haven't seen you since we left grad school. How's your dad?" it is best to send this directly to the person's email address rather than to post it to the entire list. Signature lines should include the sender's email for this reason.
