*** Hi all.

I agree with the inclusive perspective reminded us by Alison here.
Even if personally my ethos, beliefs and concrete work are more
around a broader structural perspective, I nevertheless think that
working properly on the planned change of individual behavior is a
significant part of health promotion, derived notably from a long and
proud tradition of health education. Consequently, I would feel that
this list would lose an important part of the health promotion family
by being oriented solely towards structural determinants of health.

>The list-owners of CLICK4HP are concerned about recent postings on this list
>that are 'flaming' other people and other listservs, and driving away
>participation on this list.  We would like to remind the nearly 1200
>subscribers to the CLICK4HP health promotion listserv of the nature and
>purpose of this list, and use of appropriate 'netiquette' when posting
>messages.
>
>The CLICK4HP health promotion on the internet listserv was started in April
>1996 as a public discussion on the nature of the broad field of health
>promotion, and the uses of the Internet for communication, research,
>promotion and collaboration.  By 'health promotion' we are referring to the
>many different perspectives of health promotion that exist around the world.
>This is an open forum on the field, including healthy lifestyles, wellness,
>illness prevention and rehabilitation, foundations and values, settings and
>strategies and the myriad of determinants of health.  As always, there is a
>diversity of opinions about the breadth and the strategies of health
>promotion. We wish to encourage *all* perspectives in a welcoming discussion
>and exchange.
>
>There have been suggestions made recently here that this list be used
>primarily for the development of a social determinants of health network.
>While we welcome the many new participants to this list, we suggest that any
>new network may need a separate group-forming list for discussion and
>development.  Please be considerate of the hundreds of CLICK4HP subscribers
>who have been exploring all aspects of health promotion here for more than 6
>years.
>
>To repeat a comment from the Apolnet-listserv "we encourage a thoughtful and
>well-rounded exchange of knowledge and opinion, and hope that, with your
>help, we will be able to sustain a climate of tolerance, reflection and
>learning."
>
>For the benefit of the many new subscribers to this list, we are re-posting
>the working guidelines for posting to this list.  If you have questions or
>concerns - please contact the list-facilitators (Alison Stirling, Liz Rykert
>and Sam Lanfranco) at [log in to unmask]

>       Working Guidelines for Posting to Click4hp
>
>            *Minimum Standards of Respect and Personal Conduct*
>
>Demonstrate respect for the ideas of others in your replies even if you do
>not agree. Debate and discussion are welcome and encouraged. Do not send
>email when angry or upset.
>
>When attempting humour or sarcasm always clearly indicate this with the use
>of an emoticon such as :-) or ;-) commonly referred to as smilies.
>
>Use uppercase text sparingly. Many readers consider capital letters as the
>equivalent of shouting online. The use of spacing or asterisks like *this*
>is another way to indicate emphasis.
>
>                        *Give Your Postings a Title*
>
>When you write or reply to a message check the subject line to ensure it
>reflects the content of the message. Edit it if necessary.
>
>                            *Replying to Messages*
>
>When replying to a posting, quote only the text required to put your reply
>in context.
>It helps to cut-and-paste quotes into new messages.
>Try to edit out needless lines in replies and forwarded material. If you
>have to scroll down a whole screen to get to where your response begins you
>have probably quoted too much.
>
>IMPORTANT! Check to ensure you have removed the header from the message you
>are replying to. Failing to delete the TO: line in the message you are
>quoting may mean your message will not be posted. The mailing list software
>catches these headers as a precaution against mail loops.
>
>Before you hit REPLY be sure to check the TO: line. You may not want your
>private message read by the whole list.
>If you do not know the e-mail address of the person you wish to reach, you
>can review the list of subscribers to the list by sending an e-mail message
>to the list-serv [<[log in to unmask]>], leaving the subject line *blank*,
>and in the message body type in Review CLICK4HP. A list of current
>non-concealed subscribers will be sent to you soon after you send that
>message.
>
>You should not repost private email to the list without permission.
>
>          * Do Not Use Attachments*
>
>Please - do NOT send attachments to this listserv or to any other.  As
>attachments create difficulties for many subscribers, in downloading time,
>potential for viruses in attachments, incompatibility of word-processing
>systems and blocks by many IT systems on attachments, it is now the policy
>of this listserv to **block all attachments**.
>Take the time to copy and paste the text from attachments into the body of
>messages. Your messages will go further and be distributed, and it will be
>appreciated!
>
>           *Identify Yourself*
>
>Please sign your messages at the end with your name and email address. Some
>email software fails to capture the sender's name from the header, making it
>impossible to follow up, off the list, by email.
>
>            *Keeping your Messages Readable*
>
>Keep messages short - two or three screens of information - and 'point' to
>sources of further information (yourself, web pages, etc.).
>
>Use 'white space' in your message to improve readability. Use lists and line
>breaks to space out the information and improve readability online.
>
>
>           *Avoid Word-Wrap*
>
>When using wordprocessor software, compose with a non-proportional (fixed)
>10 pitch font.
>Proportional fonts crowd more characters on a standard line and cause
>word-wrap (full lines followed by line fragments) when posted.
>
>When in doubt check attachments in a DOS/ASCII editor or first email them to
>yourself, as a test.
>
>   Advertising Products/Services:
>
>Posting advertisements for commercial health related products or services on
>Click4hp is discouraged. List participants are welcome to mention
>services/resources relevant to furthering health promotion work in the
>context of a discussion underway on Click4hp and invite inquiries directly
>by email. Please refrain from including pricing or ordering material. When
>in doubt, please forward your posting in advance to one of the list
>facilitators for review prior to posting.
>
>***************************************************************
>We hope you will  send your comments on these guidelines to one of the
>facilitators so that we can make any revisions needed to make them
>up-to-date.
>***************************************************************
>
>One final thought:
>As more of us do online health promotion work new participants will join and
>need opportunities to learn and become oriented in the online workspace.
>CLICK4HP's online facilitators are here to provide assistance and
>orientation, and to animate discussion and debate. When in doubt you can
>always contact one of us  for advice, or with suggestions. To reach all of
>us, just send your email to  <[log in to unmask]>.
