Send your messages in plain text. Don’t send HTML messages. If you send me a link to your message, I won’t open it. Please don’t send files I haven’t asked for. I won’t open any file unless I’ve asked for it.

You don’t need to be so polite, I follow Crocker’s rules: [Declaring yourself to be operating by “Crocker’s Rules” means that other people are allowed to optimize their messages for information, not for being nice to you. Crocker’s Rules means that you have accepted full responsibility for the operation of your own mind - if you’re offended, it’s your fault. Anyone is allowed to call you a moron and claim to be doing you a favor. (Which, in point of fact, they would be. One of the big problems with this culture is that everyone’s afraid to tell you you’re wrong, or they think they have to dance around it.) Two people using Crocker’s Rules should be able to communicate all relevant information in the minimum amount of time, without paraphrasing or social formatting. Obviously, don’t declare yourself to be operating by Crocker’s Rules unless you have that kind of mental discipline. ]. I appreciate your politeness but I prefer if you just optimize your messages for information, not being nice to me. I will always be polite to you and following Crocker’s rules doesn’t mean I’m gonna be rude, it just mean that I don’t get offended easily, certainly not by you giving me most information and less time-taking useless words.

Don’t be shy to ask me a for a favor, if you need anything and feel I can do it for you, ask me. I’ll say no if I can’t do it or I just don’t want to.
