Welcome to the STRAC EMS Leaders mailing list!
The STRAC-EMS-Leaders listserv (strac-ems-leaders@list.strac.org) provides a valuable ability to communicate with a large number of interested parties succinctly. A few things to keep in mind when using the Listserv or other similar lists to improve this line of communication for all:
Listserv List Etiquette
Network etiquette (often referred to as "netiquette") is a set of informal rules and procedures established for users of e-mail and listserv lists (a.k.a. mailing lists) to provide some simple guidelines to make these electronic communication tools more enjoyable and less annoying or bothersome.
1) Be sure to include a descriptive subject line. E-mails received with no subject line may likely be perceived as spam by an email filter and be deleted before reaching the recipient's inbox.
2) Responses to many listserv list questions and discussion topics are of interest to the entire list. In these cases, it is appropriate to reply to the listserv list address.
3) When you reply to an email, please do not reply to the entire listserv UNLESS you are ABSOLUTELY sure you want all recipients to receive your message. Most of the time, it is not necessary to reply to the entire group. Please choose this option wisely. Remember: hitting 'reply' to a post will reply to the entire list, not the individual who sent the post.
4) Personal replies should be directed to specific individuals rather than to the entire list.
5) Please select "Don't Send a Response" when accepting or declining a calendar appointment. Remember that responses are viewed by all members of the listserv and can significantly clog up e-mail boxes.
6) Be respectful and considerate of your colleagues in your postings. If you disagree or become upset with someone's response or use of the list, reply to that person directly when appropriate.
7) If the amount of mail from any particular list becomes cumbersome, rather than leaving that list, consider receiving the digest form of the list. Instead of getting each email individually, you will receive a summary email at the end of each day. Individual subscribers need to request this function directly for each listserv list to which they are subscribed.
8) Be aware of the problems caused when using auto-responders or auto-replies to messages received via a mailing list. Our listserv system will generate error messages to the mailing list owners about each auto-reply received and will eventually result in your being "served off" the list, disabling your ability to send messages to the list. Please remember to either temporarily turn off your mailing list messages, or set your email auto-replies to not respond to messages from our listserv lists (i.e. strac-ems-leaders@list.strac.org).
Many members realize that mistakes do happen and choose to simply hit the "delete" button when many e-mails are received that are of no interest or do not apply to them. However, if everyone would consider the guidelines above regarding e-mail and listserv use, cyberspace might be a more pleasant experience for everyone! Thank you for your cooperation and consideration of these guidelines.
