Further to the summary for click4hp.... I have had a number of positive comments on the summary from yesterday and will attempt to do it again in a couple of weeks. I did one more observation of the list tonight looking at the gender split. I created three categories: Female, Male, and gender neutral (not to be confused with neutered ;-) I placed subscribers in the neutral category when the name was obviously neutral or I couldn't tell because of linguistic ineptitude or it appeared as an organization. The total number of subscribers as of May 16 was 349. Here are the results: female: 180 male: 142 neutral: 24 concealed: 3 I am curious if this reflects the split in the Health Promotion work force generally. If someone has this data it would interesting to place it in context. Also I think the most recent gender split data on the internet generally is about 80% male - 20% female (correct me if I am wrong) which is also an interesting comparison. Since a number of people have indicated they are new users and a number of error messages have occurred recently I thought I might share a few tips/etiquette. When responding consider - will the response further a broader discussion on the list be sharing a resource others will be interested in or is it best sent by email to the poster. When replying ensure you address the email to the sender - a quick hit of the reply button will send it out to everyone. When replying to the list quote only the portion of the message which refers to the your reply. Clean up all other parts of the quoted message by scrolling and deleting, being sure to remove the to: and from: lines if they contain the Click4hp address. The software will have a hard time reading the message and reject it. This also keeps the message short and to the point. Sign you messages with your name and email address and consider suppressing signature files especially if they are long. Some email software strips the email address of the sender and only shows the email as arriving from Click4hp. Select your Subject headings carefully - this will advise the reader of the content of your posting and assist them with organizing the message. Cheers, Liz Rykert <[log in to unmask]>
