Re: Forwarding of E-mails



I suspect that we have numerous commercial lurkers out there. It isn't
<<necessarily>> any individuals lack of netiquette.

Dear Listmembers,

Has anyone had trouble with some listmembers forwarding list queries to
commercial companies?  Recently I was cold called by an archival imaging
company and someone else was contacted by a company that I recommended to
them.

I just want to let those who are not familiar with this point of netiquette
know that it is improper to forward e-mail, especially in an information
gathering forum such as this.  You should provide the company's or
institution's contact information and allow the recipient to decide when
(and if) to contact those individuals.

Sincerely,

Rolanda L. Ridley
Archives and Special Collections Cataloger
