  • Use significat names for threads. The problem should be described as specifically as is possible in a single line. "Help" isn't appropriate. "Grid problem" may be better, and "Deleted records don't dissapear in grid", even better.

    Actually, it's worse :) Do you know, why? :)

  • Don't forward a message wildly to any members who ever participated in a discussion. I simply get too many messages that way. There should be a valid reason to forward, for instance: a) The originator of a thread thanks all members for their input. b) Someone writes an additional clarification, and thinks that some members (but usually not all!) might be interested in the details.

    My long term wish is to have Spell Check option available. Also it might be a good idea to have a link to Webster Dictionary handy...
    If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
