It's time for a brief review of list etiquette. Everyone please read this and do your best to stick to what's outlined here. 1. DON'T QUOTE ENTIRE MESSAGES. It makes it very hard for digest readers to follow what's going on when there are 6 mailing list footers and 5 peoples' entire messages quoted at the bottom of an email. Trim down your quotes! 2. DON'T SEND HTML MAIL. Again, it makes the digests nearly unreadable when messages are followed by 150 lines of HTML. Nearly all mailers have a way to disable HTML mail to specific addresses. *Please* learn how to do this in your mailer. 3. STAY ON TOPIC. Of course, quick diversions are fine and we want a sense of community but please think before sending OT messages to the list, and label them as "OT" in the subject line. 4. PREFIX YOUR SUBJECT LINES. If your email is Mac-specific, put "MAC:" at the beginning of the subject. Same for PC. It probably wouldn't hurt to use prefixes for S2000, S5/6k, MPC as well. 5. BE NICE. Thanks for your help in making the list a useful resource for all 1000 people reading it. - -- scott evans admin, akai samplers mailing list Akai Mailing List Info
