[BackpackingLight] Netiquette Suggestions for our group

 

Hello again everyone. We post these suggestions near the middle each month to help our newest members communicate effectively with
our group. These aren't rules or laws, just suggestions, but they do
help our group run more smoothly. If you are an old member of our
group it's good to review these few suggestions every once in a while
too, because it's easy to forget. Thanks!

**************************************************

TRIM YOUR REPLIES;
Please remove unnecessary information from your posts, such as
headers and footers. When quoting from a previous message it is only
necessary to include the e-mail address of the original poster and
those parts of the text that pertain specifically to your reply, not
the entire message. This streamlines your answer. A good rule of
thumb is to try not have the material you quote be longer than your
reply. We realize this isn't always possible! :o)

Daily Digest subscribers, please be careful not to re-post the entire
digest with your reply.
KEEP SUBJECT HEADERS UPDATED;
If you start a new thread or when the topic drifts, you can click
the "Start Topic" button at the top right of your screen. This will
let you provide a new header so your new thread will be distinct from other threads. Before hitting "send", please take a minute to read and
edit your post to be sure it is a useful, positive and polite addition
to our discussions.

Thanks for being a part of Yahoo's Backpacking Light group! Posting
your questions, experiences, thoughts and observations brings
valuable information to other lightweight and ultralight hikers.

We wish you excellent and safe lightweight hiking!
