As of 11:19am CST on 2/15/2004, here are the results of my etiquette questions: > 1. When I reply to a message on this list, should I be replying > to both the user and the mailing list, or just the list? one or the other - 6 responses not that big of a deal - 4 both - 2 I will consider the above a tie, between "one or the other" and "who cares/both". The arguements stated on both sides appeared to boil down to the following: Evil 1: Duplicates are annoying! Evil 2: I don't have time to go through 40 messages, I wonder if anyone responded to my posting? Since I believe too much information is better than too little, I'll post to both, as the lesser of these two evils. Then again, maybe those great folks at the Cthulhu For President site (http://www.cthulhu.org/) have a point... :) > 2. Should I limit my posts to a certain size With one voice, the People spoke: "No!" > 3. What is the proper way to refer to the author we're here for? Thanks to John Klein, who supplied me with answers from Steven Brust himself: http://dragaera.info/mailinglists/archive.cgi?1:mas:59:jmikhcjlblbeaehdleep http://dragaera.info/mailinglists/archive.cgi?1:mas:78:jmikhcjlblbeaehdleep Unfortunately, there appear to be multiple Steves and multiple Brusts who post to this list, but only one "Steven Brust"... I'll use Brust for the most part, and switch to the full name when it appears there might be some confusion. Thanks to everyone who responded. Bryan
