This allows readers the option of reading the group in a
newsreader's selector, sorted by articles. They can then read only
what is of interest to them, trusting the IDs to accurately identify
the contents. Some people do not have the time (or money if they
are paying by the hour or byte) to read everything in every group
they like.
Here are some guidelines:
Posting to the ASCII groups:
o If someone requests a picture only days after it has been posted,
and you would like to fill that request, please email the picture
to the person requesting it. It's better than reposting so soon.
o Try to eliminate unnecessary blank space to the left of the pic,
and trailing space to the right. This reduces waste.
o If you're posting a collection of pics, try to keep each pic on
its own lines (and separated from other pics by a couple of
lines).
o Replace tabs with spaces. Otherwise tab damage can occur.
When following up an article:
o Read all the articles in a thread before posting. Most
newsreaders will let you re-read news you've already seen.
o Decide whether it's better to post or email your message.
o Check the attributions.
o Try to keep quoted materials to a minimum.
o Summarize where possible.
o Change the Subject ID.
Most general guidelines for posting apply here too:
o Try to stay on topic (ASCII art). It's easy to get sidetracked
into other things, especially when a cross-posted thread gets
going.
o If you disagree with someone, disagree with their words, don't
flame them.
o Ask permission before quoting somebody's email message.
o Type your post in upper-and-lower case. ALL UPPER CASE IS HARD TO READ.
o Cross-post an article instead of posting it separately to many
newsgroups. You cross-post by adding group names to the
"Newsgroups:" line in the header (if you are using the editor in a
newsreader). Or by typing names when prompted in "Pnews".
When you cross-post, only one copy is sent around. And only one
copy is kept on each machine. And as a reader, you only see the
cross-posted article once, no matter how many groups it was cross-
posted to.
If you're a new reader:
o Read the ASCII groups for a week or two to familiarize yourself
with them before posting.
If you're a new user:
