It is considered polite to follow the customs of the groups in which
one participates. For example, if you meet with Japanese people as
part of your work you should bow whilst exchanging business cards,
take care to read the card you are given, and not place it in the back
pocket of your trousers.
In this group we use the mj2 mailing list manager which by default
will not send you a direct copy of any message which also has your
email address explicitly listed. We prefer to use reply-all when
responding to people, and that has become the custom here. It would be
appreciated if you respected that custom during your time with us.
