[Year 12 SofDev] An apology

Mon Feb 7 17:42:28 EST 2011

Brett, Asha and the rest of the list,

It was not my intention to offend Asha with my last email to the list. There 
had been a similar situation on the ITAps list  and the moderator had 
ruled - in public - that these 1 to 1 or commercial emails should not be 
sent to the list. It had also happened more than once on the SoftDev list - 
not just this once with Asha - and I just suggested that this was not the 
way to go.

Kevork's revised list of the netiquette guidelines at Edulists is great and 
does remind us all of the way we need to behave online.
