> Topics
> This is an *acid jazz* mailing list, and the
> posts should be restricted to this subject.
> Naturally, over time list members get
> familiar with each other and there is
> certainly room for an occational off-topic
> post now and then.
>
> Clearly, acid jazz is about many things, and
> many realted topics can be of interest; e.g.
> the origin of various music styles, turntables
> and samplers, the state of jazz today,
> different sources of music information, etc.
>
> Before posting
> Read the mailing list for a while before you
> post anything. This helps you to get an
> understanding of the culture and the tone
> of the group.
>
> Before replying
> In general, it's a good idea to at least
> check all your mail subject lines before
> responding to a message. Someone might
> already have answered the question, and
> having multiple answers to the same
> question is usually a waste of time and
> space.
> Don't reply unless you really have
> something to say which is relevant for the
> discussion and all list members. Just saying
> "me too", or "that's funny" is considered
> a-bad-thing.
>
> Including old mails
> Be brief without being overly terse. When
> replying to a message, include enough
> original material to be understood but no
> more.
> It is *extremely* bad form to simply reply to
> a message by including all of the previous
> message! Edit out all the irrelevant
> material.
>
> Attachments
> Be conservative in what you send and
> liberal in what you receive.
> This means you should avoid sending
> attachments and other types of data which
> require something special by the users.
> This is admittely very limiting and, in these
> modern days, not really necessary - because
> there usually exists another way to do the
> same thing.
>
> Signatures
> A lot of mail applications have pre-set
> (or even incorrect) settings, something
> which makes it difficult to follow up and
> make a reply. It is a good thing to have the
> mail application include a small piece with
> contact information (called a signature, or
> .sig).
> Make sure the signature contains the
> correct information, and that it isn't too
> large. It should just state the necessary,
> not more.
>
> Flames
> Acid Jazz is usually about peace and the
> struggle against oppression. In that vibe, be
> respectful - disagree, but don't slam
> people.
>
> Irony, jokes, etc.
> E-mail does not carry emotions or
> intentions very well. Use symbols for
> emphasis.
>
> That *is* what I meant.
> Use underscores for underlining. _Acid
> Jazz_ is my favorite music.
> Use smileys to indicate tone of voice, but
> use them sparingly.
> :-) is an example of a smiley.
> (. I'm the last one on earth to use irony .)
>
> Don't assume that the inclusion of a smiley
> will make the recipient happy with what you
> say or wipe out an otherwise insulting
> comment.
