A compilation of important Email Etiquette rules:

1. ALWAYS USE UPPERCASE. IT IS EASIER TO HEAR OVER ALL THE BACKGROUND TEXT.

2. Always use run on sentences because they make following the train of thought easier to follow without introducing irrelevant information and most people cant handle simple discrete sentences while managing many tabs and multiple screens, however, this is not a hard, fast rule except on the third Tuesday of the seventh week of the fifteenth month.

3. NEVER delete any information when replying. Even if you are only replying to 1 sentence in a 200 screen email.

4. Always reply to all users, never clean up the email list to reduce to just the mailing list or relevant parties.

5. Complete sentences are...

6.  Spel Chezking is not imprtant.  Peple knwo what you mean.

I can't wait for this ep. I'll finally get to hear the reason everyone is so bad with the emails.

For example, why doesn't everyone top post so you can see what's new first?

I think I must be the one you were thinking of when when you wondered
on the last monthly review what e-mail client was deleting thread
information from postings.  Don't blame Google, I was deliberately
deleting the repeated thread data because I don't like scrolling to
the bottom of long threads, but I can see how preserving the makes the
conversation easier to follow.
No, I wasn't meaning you in particular.

Keeping threads intact is a good idea since it makes the conversation
easy to review on the list. But that's to do with how each message
refers back to its ancestors in the message header.

I suspect you are referring to the previous comments in the body of the
message. Trimming them down is a great idea and is good etiquette.

I have a show in construction about this topic which should be ready in
the next few days.

Best wishes,
Dave
