- Hello Doug (and everybody else whom it may concern)!
-
- Besides all the technical stuff that I teach those folks that attend my
- courses on email and news here at the university, I tell them to think
- a little, before they post articles to newsgroups. To think, whether their
- article really is of value to the whole news-community or just to the author
- of the article to be answered. Another thing they should do is not always to
- include the original mail or article as a whole, but only those lines that
- they refer to in their answer.
-
- I am sorry that you have not observed both of these considerations.
- After repeating the whole long article you state that this article should
- be posted also to another newsgroup, obviously a suggestion to the author
- of the original article.
-
- Please tell him directly the next time and do net waste bandwidth and the time
- of those reading this group. Perhaps you could take a look into the group
- "news.announce.newusers", there is a periodically posted article with the
- subject "Emily Postnews Answers Your Questions on Netiquette".
