EzSupporters view and post without adding to our page view costs. Being an ezSupporter is one of the best things you can do to help keep the forums available free to others, and get the most out of your virtual support experience.
THANK YOU for being here, from all of us (who are still here, and all those who have been a part of this forum over the years). I believe that this forum exemplifies the "Best of People helping People".
A few last notes:
Netiquette: (being polite, kind, and respectful in a virtual public place). There are a few protocols, which if observed, can make online communication a lot more effective and fun.
Manners: As with any group discussion basic good manners apply. It is useful to think of a mailing list/bulletin board/chatroom as a gathering of people in a room into which you have walked and wish to initiate a conversation. It is polite to introduce yourself and give a few details about yourself and your interests relating to the discussion topics.
"Lurking": is the name used to describe people who are subscribed to a list/site but remain in observation mode rather than contributing to the discussion. Its sometimes a good idea to lurk for a little while in a new community until youve picked up the discussion thread or decided if you want to participate. Some people get offended by being called a lurker but its not intended as a slight and is the general Net term for someone observing not posting.
"Flaming": is the term used for people insulting others on the Net. Flaming and personal attacks on other subscribers are the quickest way to kill any online community. If you do have to have a nasty argument with someone, its best if this is done in direct mail to that person and sorted out off-list.
Use of capitals: IN NET LANGUAGE, THE USE OF ALL CAPITAL LETTERS DENOTES YELLING! As you can see, it can also be hard to read. So be discerning with use of capitals.
Some handy key commands:
You can COPY and PASTE the relevant parts of the message into a reply. For those who don't know, the manual key commands to do this are:
Highlight the relevant text (by holding down the left button of your mouse
and dragging) and then
COPY = Control + C
CUT = Control + X
PASTE = Control + V
