 | Postings should relate generally to ham radio, ham support systems (such as computers), club activities and business, and topics that are in line with the scientific and electronic topics normally discussed at club meetings. |  | Please do not send attachments (attached files) to the reflector. This includes word processing documents, programs, URL shortcuts, v-cards, zipped files, and any other type of attachment. Instead send just an announcement that you can send the file direct to anyone who asks for it. |  | Please do not forward jokes, "cute" graphics, virus rumors/hoaxes, or chain letters. If you find something you think is great, send it directly to a few friends for feedback. |  | Please do not use HTML or RTF (rich text format) in your postings to the QTH reflector. See How To Turn Off HTML in your email program. You can use HTML in postings to the Yahoo Groups reflector, however. |  | Please do not flame (attack and insult) other members of the mailing list. |  | The occasional, simple FOR SALE or WANTED notice is OK. |  | Please do not post commercial messages. |  | Please "be nice" to one another and use the same language and courtesies that you would use on the air! |
10 Commandments of E-mail Along those lines, here's an entertaining but helpful list of courtesies -- author unknown.  | Thou shalt include a clear and specific subject line. |  | Thou shalt edit any quoted text down to the minimum thou needest. |  | Thou shalt read thine own message thrice before thou sendest it. |  | Thou shalt ponder how thy recipient might react to thy message. |  | Thou shalt check thy spelling and thy grammar. |  | Thou shalt not curse, flame, spam or USE ALL CAPS. |  | Thou shalt not forward any chain letter or virus warning. |  | Thou shalt not use e-mail for any illegal or unethical purpose. |  | Thou shalt not rely on the privacy of e-mail, especially from work. |  | When in doubt, thou shalt save thy message overnight and reread it in the light of the dawn. |
And, the "Golden Rule" of E-Mail  | That which thou findest hateful to receive, sendest thou not unto others." |
