Sacred cows take a long time to die. We get comfortable in the way we do things and lose sight of how they could be improved. Here's an interesting story.A woman was in the process of fixing her special holiday ham. She cleaned it and then took a huge knife, lopped off both ends of the ham and placed it in a pan. Her daughter, who was learning how to cook asked, "Now Mom, why did you do that?""Because that's how your grandmother taught me," was her answer. "Let's ask her." So they did. Her answer was the same. Her mother taught her that way. Being a lucky family, great grandma was still with them so they asked her.Her answer? "I always cut off the ends of the ham so it would fit in the pan."Just think of all the pork they wasted over the years doing i

What is “the top” anyway? According to society, “top” has a significant amount of import as evidenced by the following expressions: top-quality, top-rated, top-dollar, top-grade, top-of-the-line, and of course, top dog. It is relatively safe to assume then that we are a culture that places a premium on having “top” anything. That having been said, the impetus for this article is to present 10 Terrific Tips to Talk Your Way to the Top, wherever that may be for you.When we communicate, most people make the assumption that this simply involves the act of talking; say what you need to say and that’s it. Communication however, is really about the speaker-listener interaction and when viewed as such, leaves the assumption of “simply talking," in the dust. In fact, each tim

When posting to an announcement group, make sure you follow the posting guidelines. Not only will this save the list owner a great deal of time, but it will also prevent you from having to repost your message when it gets rejected.
In addition to following the guidelines, make sure that you don't post your message more than once. Announcement lists receive many submissions and only send out a certain number of posts each day. It may take up to a week or longer before your message is approved. Reposting only serves to delay the process even longer.
Unsubscribing
In order to remove yourself or unsubscribe from an ezine, discussion group or announcement list, you must follow the instructions for each individual publication. Some lists will provide a link that will instantly remove your email address. Others will require you to send an email message to remove yourself. However, you MUST send the unsubscribe email message from the same address you used to subscribe.
Many times, subscribers may use an email address that redirects to their main email account. When they try to remove themselves from a list, they can't remember which address they used to subscribe. This causes them to become frustrated and take their anger out on the list owner.
There is no way for a list owner to determine what email address a subscriber used to subscribe to the list. However, there is a way you can locate the address yourself and save yourself and the list owner a great deal of frustration.
If you're using Outlook: Under the "View" menu, select "Message header" or "Source."
If you're using Eudora: Click on the "Bla bla" button.
By viewing the message headers, you can determine what email address the message was sent to. This is the email address you used to subscribe to the group. Your unsubscribe message MUST come from this address in order to locate it within the database.
SPAM
Professional list owners will NEVER add your email address to their database without your knowledge. Most of the time, if you're receiving their publication, you subscribed and may have forgotten. Keep in mind, the keyword is "Professional" list owners. There are many list owners that use unethical means of obtaining email addresses.
Before making a "SPAM" complaint, it is VERY important that you understand the consequences
