Etiquette

Email discussion groups are a great source of ideas and information - and can lead to great friendships. Emails to the list are automatically broadcast to all members. To get the most out of a group there are a few generally accepted rules:

• Remember that you are speaking to a group of people - and you don't always know who they are. Be cautious about providing personal information about yourself or others.
• One idea per email, with the topic clearly in the subject line, makes ongoing discussions and debates more manageable.
• Short paragraphs with lots of white space are easier to read on screen.
• Quote only what is necessary to retain the sense of an email in your responses.

 Online personals and dating sites

• Blink Speed Dating 
  You will meet 10 people of the opposite sex over drinks and nibbles at a stylish location. After each 7 minute speed date, you indicate on your private 'match card' who you would like to meet again. If both parties are interested (a mutual match) then you receive each others contact details the next day.
