FYI - the PhotoForum list has 324
individuals who receive every message as posted, 151
who receive daily digests and 49 who do not receive
postings. The total is 524.
I should like to reiterate an item that was
mentioned by a list member not too long ago and it
has to do with treating other members with
consideration and respect.
The objective is be an open forum for the
free exchange and sharing of information for the
benefit of its members. The list is not
moderated and it depends on the good will and
civility of its members to maintain a friendly
and constructive atmosphere.
Please
consider the content of your postings to
reflect a considerate, caring and helpful
attitude. There is no point in belittling any
of the members of the list. There are a wide
variety of expertise and backgrounds on the
list. Before posting you might direct your
posting to yourself and see how it reads when
addressed to you. For example: If "You don't
know what you are talking about" might be what
you are about to post think about it for a
second. How you like such a statement to be
directed at you. Would you like to be told
that? I admit this is a far out example but
sensitivities vary among people and there is
no point in being dismissive of other members.
Take this
as only one person's opinion. It is my
opinion. It might be "elementary" but it makes
for a more pleasant and constructive and
cooperative atmosphere here and in other
situations as well.
Thank you,
Andrew
