Interactions avec les autres
Méthode : Soigner la forme
Pour limiter le nombre de fautes d'orthographe (en plus d'un correcteur), relisez vos messages à l'envers, depuis la dernière vers le première phrase (la perte de sens favorise la concentration sur la forme).
Use mixed case and proper punctuation, as though you were typing a letter or sending mail.
(RFC1855)
Méthode : Colère
Si vous écrivez un mail sous le coup d'une émotion forte :
Finissez de l'écrire
Ne l'envoyez pas
Relisez le lendemain et décidez de l'envoyer ou non, et éventuellement de le modifier
Wait overnight to send emotional responses to messages.
(RFC1855)
Économiser le temps des autres
Be careful when addressing mail. There are addresses which may go to a group but the address looks like it is just one person. Know to whom you are sending.
(RFC1855)
Watch cc's when replying. Don't continue to include people if the messages have become a 2-way conversation.
(RFC1855)
If you should find yourself in a disagreement with one person, make your responses to each other via mail rather than continue to send messages to the list or the group. If you are debating a point on which the group might have some interest, you may summarize for them later.
(RFC1855)
Respecter les intentions des autres
If you are forwarding or re-posting a message you've received, do not change the wording. If the message was a personal message to you and you are re-posting to a group, you should ask permission first.
(RFC1855)
Complément : Crocker's Rules
Declaring yourself to be operating by "Crocker's Rules" means that other people are allowed to optimize their messages for information, not for being nice to you.
