Subject: Forum Etiquette
A question to the forum:
When I read the e-mail on the forum, I enjoy the questions and I
enjoy reading the responses. In fact the responses help me
tremendously in my work.
I occasionally respond to an issue on the forum when I feel
qualified to make a contribution.
I just received an e-mail asking me to make my responses directly
to the original message sender, rather than cluttering the forum.
I figure if I can learn from other peoples responses, then if the
question/issue came through the forum, I at least should respond
through the forum.
So here's the question:
a. should I respond through the forum so that everyone can share
the response, even though it "clutters" the forum, or
b. should I respond directly to the person posing the issue, and
hence not cluttering the forum, but depriving others of my input.
I'd be interested if this forum has established a guidance on this,
and/or how forum participants think about this.
Have a great '98, Mike
PS: To reduce clutter when responding I already delete most of the
original message.<
