Opinion: Screen shots can be very valuable. I can always delete them from emails if I want to save them so I think that they help to clarify a point - as long as they don't get used to excess...

" But you do feel the need to include the entire thread you replied to including your graphics - sometimes several times! I’ve been out of the office. Enjoying my first block of days off since getting things ready for the go-live of ITSM 7.6.04, so I have been quiet on these things for a while. I used to send out the FAQ, then Dan started sending out something to people as they joined the list, so I stopped. The thing that bothers me most is screen shots and all the little icons that people include in the email. The worst are the animated .sig files! Outlook provides you the opportunity to decide what type of text you want to use when sending an email. I prefer to use plain text when sending an email to the list unless I need to highlight something specific. A plain text email or one without a lot of attachments is about 8 to 15 kb. All those silly icons and screen shots add up. I have had to delete threads because they have grown to larger proportions than I can save on the drive I save these things to. I don’t need to or want to contact most of the people on this professional list via facebook or twitter. Neither of them are professional forums. I do communicate with a few people, strictly socially via G+. For the most part if I have not met someone in person or have not communicated with them extensively over the years, I don't do the LinkedIn thing with them. Blogs in some cases are like vanity license plates. This is a professional list, why not stick to professional forums. If you want someone to connect with you via “Social Media”, send them a private email. I’ve been on this list since 1998 and this comes up at least a couple of times a year! Social Media is not necessarily a good thing! <End|Rant> ------------------ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Jose Huerta Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2012 10:32 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: OT: ARSLIST Signal-to-noise ratio ** Just to clarify it, because seems that I didn't transmit the correct message. 1.- ARSlist is the best Remedy resource at this time. 2.- the difference between ARSlist and Developer network is not about technologies, but people. 3.- when I said about a change In the communication system, it doesn't mean that I don't accept the current system. And finally, I don't see the relationship between forums and blogs & twitter. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are" Portions of this message may be confidential under an exemption to Ohio's public records law or under a legal privilege.
