Hey Jeff. You
didn’t mention not promoting one’s business on the list. It rarely happens blatantly here (which
is appreciated), and its tough to not promote one’s business when a question is
asked specifically about a given product. But if I could just interject here that I feel it an
important restriction that when someone posts a question, they get an unbiased
response. Being a software
developer, and also a fanatic having too many other hobbies, I belong to many,
many email lists – most of them have a stipulation that there can be no product
advertisement contained in the text of the posts or replies. The reasoning behind this is to stick
with facts, rather than swayed promotion. I just hope that, for the sake of growing interest in AACT,
we can hold a ‘stick to the facts, ma’am’ policy. Just a suggestion. Mike -----Original
Message----- Hi
friends! Well,
this week marks the first year we have been on Yahoo....just a little over a
year for the listserve. We have over 370 members. (How many have tested their
teas?).This is a good time to thank you all for you posts and your courtesy. As
list "owner" I thought this was going to be a lot of work. It
has turned out to be a joy so far. Let's keep it up. We made a lot of advances
in this year....from renaming CT to AACT and activating our starter composts to
new ingredients. THIS IS
ALSO A GOOD TIME TO REMIND FOLKS THAT POSTS TO THE LIST SHOULD ONLY BE ABOUT
LIST MATTERS. PLEASE DO NO USE A POST ON THIS LIST FOR A PERSONAL MESSAGE
MEANT ONLY FOR A SELECT FEW ON THE LIST (Not picking on your
blueberries Bob, but that is a good example). Some folks on this list
get hundreds of emails a day and the addition of just one "Hi, so and
so, I loved the cake you sent me..." is one too many. And please, no
more "thanks" for messages sent and information received.
Your appreciation is a given. Use
this rule: Does what I have to post have to be said? Will it be
useful to the whole list? Will others care? OR IS IT PERSONAL. If it
doesn 't ADD TO THE GROUP DISCUSSION, don't send it. I am going to start
to be a stickler this year. We have had a year to practice! Cheers
and thanks everyone! Jeff
