[Peace-discuss] before your forward

[Sandra Ahten]

I think that people should try to have an introduction to any email that is 
forwarded to this list. Perhaps if you had to write an introduction to the 
email... it would discourage you from forwarding everything that anyone 
might be interested in.  That turns out to be A LOT of stuff. Tell us why it 
is relevant. Tell us why the site is worth going to. Tell us what you have 
done to contribute in the way that the email that you are promoting 
suggests. Give us a book review that you have written before sending on an 
Amazon listing of the book.

I know the list is helpful to many people and it has been to me -- but it is 
just becoming to much to sift through (for me).

And remember -- don't post things to both the Peace and Peace-discuss list. 
It is only relevant to one or the other and even deleting messages takes a 
lot of time for busy activists these days.

are understood to be inevitable. Theodore Roszak
