    1. Guideline Reminder
    2. Andrea Vogel
    3. Hello listers -- I'm glad to see some chat amongst subscribers but I see that a reminder is in order about one of our guidelines. Please help to cut down on the amount of previously posted material being sent, quite unneccessarily, back to the list multiple times. You can do this by following the advice in one of our HWE guidelines (see below). My grateful thanks in advance. Your list concierge, Andrea This is HWE guideline number five: "When replying to a previous post by another subscriber, it's important to: a) delete most or all of that previous post in your reply, b) make sure the subject line is appropriate, changing it if necessary and c) place a short summary or <snip> of the previous message at the beginning of your reply. Reason: a) Deleting previously posted material eliminates duplication of information, both on the list and in the list archives. b) Subject lines should match message content. c) A summary or <snip> lets others know immediately what you are talking about. It's a reminder of the previous post and brings new subscribers into the discussion without them wondering what it's all about." All of our list guidelines are on the HWE website here (in four different languages): http://www.island.net/~andreav/hweguide.htm. END
