MAILING LIST ETIQUETTE | ||
---------------------- | ||
|
||
A few tips when submitting to this or any mailing list. | ||
|
||
1. Make your subject short and descriptive. Avoid the words "help" or | ||
"Samba" in the subject. The readers of this list already know that | ||
a) you need help, and b) you are writing about samba (of course, | ||
you may need to distinguish between Samba PDC and other file | ||
sharing software). Avoid phrases such as "what is" and "how do | ||
i". Some good subject lines might look like "Slow response with | ||
Excel files" or "Migrating from Samba PDC to NT PDC". | ||
|
||
2. If you include the original message in your reply, trim it so that | ||
only the relevant lines, enough to establish context, are | ||
included. Chances are (since this is a mailing list) we've already | ||
read the original message. | ||
|
||
3. Trim irrelevant headers from the original message in your | ||
reply. All we need to see is a) From, b) Date, and c) Subject. We | ||
don't even really need the Subject, if you haven't changed | ||
it. Better yet is to just preface the original message with "On | ||
[date] [someone] wrote:". | ||
|
||
4. Please don't reply to or argue about spam, spam filters or viruses | ||
on any Samba lists. We do have a spam filtering system that is | ||
working quite well thank you very much but occasionally unwanted | ||
messages slip through. Deal with it. | ||
|
||
5. Never say "Me too." It doesn't help anyone solve the | ||
problem. Instead, if you ARE having the same problem, give more | ||
information. Have you seen something that the other writer hasn't | ||
mentioned, which may be helpful? | ||
|
||
6. If you ask about a problem, then come up with the solution on your | ||
own or through another source, by all means post it. Someone else | ||
may have the same problem and is waiting for an answer, but never | ||
hears of it. | ||
|
||
7. Give as much *relevant* information as possible such as Samba | ||
release number, OS, kernel version, etc... | ||
|
||
