I admit that after a long while, it's only now that I cared to read the Netiquette Guide written by Pablo M. It taught me to be more careful with my mails to the list.
Anyway, I'd like to point Pablo's attention to that sentence that says, "Besides your reader gets irritated when he is forced to go through a lot of garbage that you force on him." No offense meant, but can we rewrite that sentence to make it gender-sensitive? Of course, we do not mean that "your reader" is none but a male person. But, to be more gender-aware, can we instead use "s/he" or "he or she" and "him/her"? Others might push for gender-affirmation by suggesting use of "she" and "her" all along. But that's for the writer to decide. http://plug.linux.org.ph/netiquette.html -- Dong B.
