[ADMIN] List Practice - Reply

'Twas the voice of the Jons, I heard it declare...

Or, rather, Jon-the-list-supremo posted the "rules of the list", to wit:

> 1) No attachments.

And then Jon T. (remember him? The guy with the game company? B-) )
replied:

> Could I add a vote for a FOURTH rule: NO "ME TOO" POSTS!!! When

I'll support that, as I do the existing 3, but I'd like to make a further
request:
would people _please_ make sure that they "sign" their posts, or have a
.sig file,
or _something_, which tells the list their e-mail address! Why? 'Cause
some mail software (like mine!) strips off or truncates "Message From"
information, so
that, for instance, Jon T's mail appears to come from "jon@gzero.du" --
which is not a lot of help if I want to reply or write to him rather than to
the list!

So, if we want to eliminate "me, too" posts, we need to make sure that it is
possible for listmembers to contact each other in a fashion that doesn't
involve using the list as a message drop. The easiest way I know to do that is
to ensure
that your e-mail address is included in every message that you send.
