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...
8. RTFM. Google. groups.google.com.
