Dealing with the List

  • Rude behavior is not appreciated on the mailing list.  Always remember that words in email can sound harsher than the intent when you're reading or writing emails.
  • Setup filters on tags will help the traffic flow.
  • You may not get a reply.  Don't be afraid to resend your email after a few days.
  • If you're expecting someone to see your email, include them in the CC/TO line after you sent out the initial email and didn't get a reply.
  • Communicate often.
