Re: [MOSAIC] posting request

2007-02-12 Thread Keith Mack
As already mentioned by Karen and Ginger, the MOSAIC list has seen a rash of
recent posts where the actual message is only a small part of the total
email content. I'd like to illustrate the problem and then follow with some
list etiquette rules.

Recent MOSAIC replies with NEW WORDS in the message compared to TOTAL word
count of message:

New Words   Total Words Percentage New
  1 729   0.1%
 54 334   7.2%
 69 560  12.3%
103 501  20.6%
 55* 68* 80.9%* (Optimum)
135*135*  100%* (Perfect!)

If the above table didn't get mashed in the send process, you will see that
the first four rows show a HUGE disparity between the new content in a reply
and the total amount of words. In addition to creating annoying problems for
people reading our digest, this can also cause multiple digests to be sent
out each day. Here are two important tips to remember when replying in your
MOSAIC community (copy and post it on your monitor or fridge?):

PROFESSIONAL ETIQUETTE FOR REPLYING TO LISTSERV MESSAGES

1. DELETE OR EDIT PREVIOUS CONTENT
When replying DELETE all of previous post OR EDIT previous post to a bare
minimum of words that relate to your reply. This is shown by the last two
rows in the table above (*). 

2. CONTACT THE PERSON NOT THE ENTIRE LIST
Send thank-you's, and personal questions/requests to the INDIVIDUAL. In the
MOSAIC list, "REPLY TO ALL" does NOT include the original poster's email.
You must get the individual's email from the message header and replace the
listserv email address with the individual's address BEFORE hitting the send
button. 

Please remember to always be vigilant on your replies to the MOSAIC
community and try to keep a high percentage of new content compared to total
words in your replies. It only takes a few seconds.

Thanks,

There is one more option. If you  highlight the pertaining part and hit 
reply, only that section is copied.

[MOSAIC] posting request

2007-02-10 Thread ginger/rob
When a member writes to the Mosaic list in response to a prior posting and 
uses the REPLY option, the entire prior posting gets resent through the 
listserv again (underneath the new text).  While I realize it is helpful for 
us to see what you are responding to (or commenting on), it creates problems 
for our DIGEST members.

Could I ask you to consider this option?
When you are wanting to write in to the Mosaic list, do a simple cut and 
paste of the part(s) you are responding to or commenting on.  To do this
1.  START A BRAND NEW EMAIL to mosaic@literacyworkshop.org
2.  HIGHLIGHT the part you want to comment on from the original email
3.  Right click COPY
4.  Go to your NEW email to the listserv and right click PASTE which will 
put that part into your new email.
5.  THEN write your comments.

This saves the server space rather than resending all the connected pieces 
that build up when someone hits REPLY.  It's like a chain is created and all 
those previous messages are then resent- taking up space- and the digest 
people (who get large batches of our individual emails) then don't have to 
weed through what is old (resent) and what is new.

We would appreciate it.
