I need some help with posting to this group. I've always been
hesitant to post a number of crossposted announcements, links, etc,
to MG-ED-DV, particularly if it isn't in response to a request.

I noticed that in the last week, I've received (from this and a few
other lists), over 50 posts with humour, links, etc from a single
poster. Most are crossposted, and not specifc to this group. I'll
live with that.

What I want to know (for my own guidance) is whether this kind of
mass cross-posting of such things is ok to send. If so, then I might
as well start doing it also.

Thanks for any guidance.

I have been concerned about this. Dutch Driver has apologized and assures
me that he not post jokes or non-management education and development links
etc. any more to the list. Certainly JOKES are not welcome (there are
better forums for them). Before anyone posts, the key thing to consider is
whether the posting is related to management education or management
development directly.

Best regards,

Robert,
From a personal viewpoint (but I know many feel more strongly), I believe
the only cardinal sin is failing to make clear, on the subject line, what
the basic contents are. Armed with this, the recipient can make an informed
choice about opening or deleting the message.
I presume your post was prompted by messages from someone whose name
indicates they may be from the Netherlands?

JOKES, WHICH WILL NOT BE TOLERATED (In John Cleese voice). C'mon,
what's wrong with jokes? Dutch, please put me on your joke list.

Excuse me but life is too short to be taken too seriously. Dutch, add me
to your joke list. Thanks, Hubert
