You might ask him whether additional extra credit is awarded if you also
learn about the usual rules of conduct, sometimes called "netiquette".
One of them is that persons posting to the listserv are expected to
include their proper names at least, preferably accompanied by their
affiliations (e.g., college or place of employment or home address, or
combinations of these). You might start by visiting the web site
mentioned in the trailer automatically appended to this message by
edstat.
Your e-mail program almost certainly has the facility to include
a signature file (sometimes called a .sig) automatically; and even if
you think you have valid reason(s) for not doing that as a routine
courtesy for all your e-mail, you can easily import such a file into
your message for polite communication with listservs and other
correspondents, and ought to do so.
