Communication

E-mail pointers? All of use send and receive e-mail, from a variety of sources, from people who use many e-mail clients, so some helpful pointers are as follows.

• Use your e-mails personal address card.

• Include your http in the subject line for easy return visits by the recipient.

• Time date your mail for answering your query.

• Always be courteous, kind, thoughtful, and compassionate in your writ.

Don't bite off more than you can chew? More often than not when you establish an award, join a web ring, or volunteer for work, the correspondence becomes a chore, is difficult to maintain, and becomes discouraging. Good organization is therefore a must. Plan in advance how you will organize your mail. Make drafts of repetitive letters, which can used for cut and paste into new mail. Always spell check your correspondence and remember "do not bite off more than you can chew."

Involved in a long term project? Regular correspondence, because of the time delay in receipt and acknowledgement, is not the desirable method of communication. ICQ will enable you to keep on top of things, meet deadlines, and avoid miscommunication in long term projects and is a ball for regular use as well.

Lost your password for mail? Rather than "reinvent the wheel" several pointers are noted which are followed by some excellent links.

• Always, always, always keep a hard copy of password information in a safe place and keep a copy on your computer in a location titled web site information.

• Never give your password to anyone, we mean anyone.
