Guidelines for Use:
Keep it On Topic
This list is intended for Apple and technology related discussion of interest to MacPeople members and guests. This is not the place for political discussion, advertisements, jokes, or other irrelevant material.
Think Before You Hit Send
There are approximately 200 members on this email list. Remember when posting or replying to a message you are sending your message to everyone. Be reasonable with your posts, we don’t want to limit discussion but ask you to use good judgment. Do not post the same question repeatedly and review the posts on the list to determine if your question has been answered or your response already made.
If your message is directed to only one individual, please reply to them individually. The 199 other people do not want their email boxes clogged up with irrelevant material.
Do not post anything that you would not want publicly distributed.
Be Careful with Auto-Responders
Automatic email responders are great for business, but they don’t work as well for personal email and can cause chaos with the email list. If you setup an auto responder that replies to every message it can create a never-ending loop of replies with the MacPeople list and flood the inboxes of the list members. If you will be unavailable for an extended period of time, we recommend that you temporarily turn off email notifications. Just don’t forget to turn them back on when you return!
