Re: Eclair Cameras: list rules - modification - suggestion



Eric I think that your ideas are very workable and I agree that some rules of play should apply. Another problem I see with the list M.O. is that several individuals are using it for email postings. I believe that when individuals need to have a rambling discussion they should log off the list and send those emails personally. I will comply with rules posted.

i agree. a number of response rules would really help out in terms of being able to reference applicable topics. so i would also add to your suggestion that the 'subject line' me modified to describe the topic/content, and should not be changed unless the topic /subject matter changes. this way, you can browse/search/scan the subject fields at a glance and find the specific topic one might me looking for. so if someone asks a QUESTION about installing the hd-144 gold, it should be entered into the subject field as follows: hd-144 gold - installation - QUESTION' now then, so all of the ANSWERS, one would simply change the subject field to read: hd-144 gold - installation - ANSWER. for future reference they will all be in ascending order in your mailbor folder, and you will be able to easily find the question, or one of the answers. perhaps this may seem somewhat overkill, but i always seem to need to find a bit of info days or weeks or months down the road, and when searching through my emails i have to open each one to see the content, so if the subject line had the correct title, would simply need to search the titles.

so here are my suggestions for processing rules:

subject line contains/is modified to contain the following;
1. subject(hd-144, shutter, battery, grip, video tap, whatever ...)
seperator '-'(or comma, tab, whatever)
2. purpose(repair, service, modification, buy, sell, trade, parts, use, etc.)
seperator '-'
3. position(question, answer, opinion, comment, suggestion, instruction, etc)

so, that is my 22 cents ... it sure would help in terms of being able to reference these emails.
