I realize that we all love this list because (1) we tend to get quality answers to questions; (2) flaming rarely happens--in fact we are excessively tolerant towards those we should be more assertive with; (3) people can get really funny; (4) after 30+ years of teaching I find myself making meaningful changes in my teaching based on these discussions; and (5) we love the fact that it is NOT moderated and we can post freely, within reason (reason being very loosely defined).
I get the digest--primarily because I get very many emails from students which I feel are very important to answer asap. Thus, I am trying to cut down the overall number of emails I receive, and I can just read the digests through in a sitting and respond as necessary. One of the downsides of the digest is that most people leave the past discussion in place. This means that sometimes my tips digest goes on for pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages of screens. It would be great if we could try to cut some of the previous conversations. I really appreciate having the previous 1-2 bits to follow along (and as some have mentioned they failed to get the first bit) but sometimes I get 7-10 bits of conversations that go on for pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages of screens (get the point?) So maybe in the interest of a little tips netiquette we can try to remember (I know, I forget on that other list and get my stuff booted back all the time), but maybe we can try harder to remember to trim a bit of the prior discussion to make it more manageable for those of us who prefer a single, digested email a day from lists.
