Re: Hello, I just walked in and I'm lost

Welcome to the group.

I would like to add that if you see a post from someone that is
obviously wrong, please speak up.

I have been corrected once or twice and my attitude is that it is
better to be corrected and get the correct information to the group
than to let an eronous post go by. and if you are not sure, ask the
person who posted for clarification.

Also, if someone posts something wrong, it may be the point they need
help on!

it is rare, but sometimes we type after a long day and put something
in the wrong order or just mis-state it.

Also, heed the note about being on topic. Our list mom's are fair
and spend a good deal of time moderating this list. this is a
heavily moderated list. NO off topic is needed or wanted. we all
have too much to do.

Another note is that when you have a thought or question, do a quick
search of the archives. must be done on-line. Yahoo will only post
the last 300 or so matches on a screen and you need to hit either
PREVIOUS or NEXT to get the next group of matches. It will take a
bunch of NEXT/PREVIOUS to search the whole 40,000 plus posts.

lastly, if you change the topic it is good form to also change the
subject line. it really helps in searching later on too.
