There are several good sites out there for general etiquette when subscribing to a mailing list
(someone put their favorite link here)
I'd like to address some items that are unique to this site.
Coding samples
Large code fragments
If you find the need to include a largish code fragement (more than a few lines) in a post, consider posting the fragment to http://code.midrange.com and then just post the generated URL to the list.
Dates
- For coding samples involving dates I suggest using days greater than 12 and years greater than 31. Some people won't read your comments and let's let it be "self documenting". An example would be a
MyDate=%date('01/31/98');
That one is obvious that you used mm/dd/yy and not dd/mm/yy or any other combination.
