The post you're reading right now is at least as readable as any you will ever read. Doesn't AOL offer free classes in this stuff by now? I read this AM that AOL will start charging mailing list owners for content sent to their list members- if you aren't whitelisted, it will not be delivered. Other big mail services (yahoo etc) should follow. mailing list is a little vague but it mentions specifically enabling/disabling HTML links,etc, which content makes up 80% of 90% of the body in posts on the LEMlists (long footers). B http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3581301 AOL announced on January 30 that it will phase out its Enhanced Whitelist service in June in favour of Goodmail CertifiedEmail, which carries an as yet unspecified per-message fee. Until now, a mailing list gets on the AOL whitelist by following good e-mail practices, such as cleaning up dead addresses, making it easy for people to leave mailing lists, and of course not sending any spam. This is all going to be thrown out the window and replaced with the payment of hard currency to Goodmail. People who can afford to pay this fee will have the privilege of reaching AOL subscribers, others will end up in junk folders. Yahoo is expected to follow down the same path. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I think we need to put this to a vote. I've been a list nanny since we started having nannies, and on one of the oldest lists, the quadlist. The lists are not a democracy. There is no voting. If you don't like following rules meant for the good of all, unsubscribe. It's not a dictatorship either. That said, there have always been people who top-posted. It's a pain. Courtesy to aid effective communication is the object here. Just as we DON'T POST IN ALL CAPS we have a number of other conventions to extend courtesy as we wish it extended to us. The top posting rules is a lot older than a year. (snip) ing long quotes to the minimum is another courtesy. But, Tim has put his finger on it. If we don't use the rules effectively, people will not read our thoughts. The delete key is a lot easier than scrolling through a lot of repetative junk.

I forgot to mention that when quoting, you should NEVER include the info footer that is added to every message. There is already the customary -- marker which most email clients will honor but for some reasons, I see way too many posts that quote the entire message they're replying to, including the footer.
