I was SO happy to see Ernest Gregoire write:
> Excessive quoting is a big problem ....
Excessive quoting is a common problem on all lists and is the primary
reason that BEE-L became a moderated list. For all the reasons posts to
BEE-L are refused, excessive quotes is by far and away the most common.
Additionally, there are other reasons that submissions to BEE-L are
not approved for distribution. Most times, offending submissions are
"returned to sender" with an explanation. It would be more time
efficient to post occasional reminders of proper BEE-L nettiquette.
Please keep in mind the following suggestions when submitting material
to the list.
Sincerely,
Aaron Morris
Since BEE-L has been a moderated list it has become aparant
that there are 6 catagories of inappropriate postings which
result in the submission not being approved for general
distribution.
Those catagories are listed below, followed by the short
rejection notice that may be returned to sender.
1. Excessive Quoting:
Your post to BEE-L is being returned beacuse it contains
an entire quote of a previous submission. Excessive
quoting clutters up the BEE-L archives and is considered
bad nettiquette. Please edit the quoted material so that
it only includes that which is pertinent to the point
you are making and resubmit your article.
Thank you for helping to make BEE-L a better list.
2. Article submitted as an HTML document or MIME format.
Your submission to BEE-L was rejected because it was
sent as an HTML document or with MIME formatting. Please
if you will, resend your post as "text only"
Thank you for your continued participation on BEE-L.
3. Personal response sent to the entire list
Your recent submission to BEE-L is being returned to you
as it is a personal response to a previous post. Your
response should be sent to the author of the previously
posted material.
Thank you for your continued participation on BEE-L.
4. File Attachments not allowed
Your submission to BEE-L was rejected because it
contains a file attachment of unknown type that:
a. may not be readable by all mailers
b. adds nothing to the content of your post.
Please if you will, resubmit your post without the
attachment.
Thanks you for your continued participation on BEE-L.
5. Service request sent to the list rather than the server
Your submission to BEE-L is being returned to you
because it is a request for service which should be sent
to the server ([log in to unmask]), not the list
([log in to unmask]).
6. Off Topic
Your submission to BEE-L has been rejected because it is
not related to the 'Informed Discussion of Beekeeping
Issues and Bee Biology'.
