[Pharmwaste] list serve usage reminder

[Tenace, Laurie]

Dear Members,

Thanks for being a member of this list serve! Do you know there are currently 836 members of Pharmwaste?! I bet we reach all fifty states and I know there are some members outside the US. The list serve has been operating since January, 2005. The list serve has always been open to all and I believe that is one of its strengths.

I am proud to administer a list serve that is an open forum for discussion of the issues that have been arising as we all struggle to find ways to manage this emerging issue. However, periodically we need to be reminded of the email etiquette that makes this list serve work. It's that time again.

Please remember to post in plain text. People who are receiving posts in digest form have a hard time reading posts that are in HTML. Send links rather than copying and pasting pictures into your email.

Please remember to not use the list serve for personal communication. Think twice before responding to all.

Please remember to use a subject line that is pertinent to your post. This helps make our archive area more useful.

The list serve should not be used to defame or disparage any individual, business or government entity.

Remember that the things you post to the list serve live on - first in the Pharmwaste archive area, but perhaps more importantly on Google and other servers. A search for specific topics we discuss will return our exact email strings.

Florida Department of Environmental Protection does not endorse specific equipment or companies. Any emails posted to the Pharmwaste list serve cannot be construed as opinion of the Department.

Again, I want to thank all of you who help make this a unique method for sharing information, research, ideas and legislation.

Your Pharmwaste list serve administrator,
Laurie Tenace
