•The process of observing messages without posting any new messages is called lurking. You should lurk when you first join a mailing list.

•You might consider deleting your signature from e-mail messages you post to the mailing list and using a free
e-mail account address for
your subscriptions.

•Many unmoderated mailing lists receive postings from people who discuss topics outside the scope of the list
or post spam messages that contain advertisements for unrelated products and services.
