[Sca-cooks] Private messages...

[Phil Troy / G. Tacitus Adamantius]

At the risk of sounding like some kinda authority figure, which I am  
not...

Folks! Puh-leeze!

If you're going to send somebody a private message, send it to them  
privately. As in, to their personal address and not to a list-serve.  
Double-check the address before hitting "send", okay? The word  
"private" in the subject line is no assurance that it is actually  
addressed to any one particular person, or that the person who  
actually receives it will understand that it is, or is not, intended  
to be read privately. When I see a "private" message sent to a  
listserv, I tend to assume it's not for me and delete it. I hope I  
haven't missed anything good that way!

When replying to a private message, _check and see_ who the reply is  
addressed to (see above) before hitting send...

The fact that [generic] your e-mail contains an accusation of lying  
is a pretty good indication that it should _not_ be addressed, in the  
little box, to SCA-Cooks, regardless of the accusation's perceived  
merit or lack thereof.

We seem to be making a mess of Papa's living room, and I'd like us  
all, myself included, to help clean it up.

Thank you! No more ranting, I've got a sick frog to deal with!
