[ut.chinese] greeting

yipp@ecf.toronto.edu (YIP PO KEUNG) (02/22/90)

My name is Yip, Po Keung studing in U of T.  I saw your email but I don't know 

why you mail to me .  Acturally, I haven't mailed to you before.

However, whould you mind to introduce yourself to me ?

See you later.

chinc@ecf.toronto.edu (CHIN CHIEN TING) (02/22/90)

Pelton, I saw your mail in reply to someone you don't know. I can see it because
it is visible to all receiving Chinese News as mail. This mail I am writing now
is also visible to all too. Actually the mail 'greeting' is not to you, but to
'utchinese@csri.toronto.edu'. And you were as I am writing as 'utchinese' not 
as you and me. So next time, before you reply to some strange mail, check if it
is to you (yipp). If not, just ignore them.

Obviously, a strict protocol of communicating via this e-mail network needed
s to be obeyed by all users of the net. Otherwise, reading those irrelevant
messages can drive one crazy.

A suggestion to all users: Send your reply or greeting to a right person (or persons). If you don't know how to do this, ask.

A suggestion to the manager of the net: Tell users how to direct their messages
accurately. Better still, adapt a communication protocol for users to stick to.

I owe you an apology if this message is irrelevant to you !

Hi, everyone,

	It seems to me that if I do not post this message, the number of
receivers in the To: field of this mail header would go up quickly (though
finitely, for anyone who cares :-) ).

	I have been sending private e-mail to the persons involved. But in
order to avoid further confusion, I would like to make the following suggestions
to our fellow netters.

	This communication network is here for everyone to use. It's nice to
see more and more people begin taking interest in it, and try to do a little
experiment on it. But please do it in a sensible way.

	This network has two addresses. People who want to be added-in or
removed-from the utchinese mailing list should send their requests to

	----------------------------------
	utchinese-request@csri.utoronto.ca
	----------------------------------

The receiver of this address is the caretaker of the mailing list. No one
else reads it.

	People who want to say something that may be of interest to the
fellow netters can send their messages to

	--------------------------
	utchinese@csri.utoronto.ca
	--------------------------

But please keep in mind that this address is a "BROADCAST station" in that
every mail it receives will then be sent to all recipients in the utchinese
mailing list. Please do not waste the valuable computing resources and the
invaluable time of our readers.

	Please do not use it for learning e-mail. You can do it by sending
mail to yourself.

	Please remember that there are two ways to respond to a message you
received. One way is to make a public comment so that everyone in the mailing
list will read what you have to say. The other is to conduct a private
communication with the sender of the message. On UNIX system, the two ways are
represented by the little 'r' and the big "R", respectively. On other systems,
they may be different. When you are not sure, please ask people in the know.

expectly. I am student laboring my ph.D. thesis. I am from Shanghai, P.R.C.
