I forgot one:
4. Use the standard 2-letter postal abbreviation for your state or
province. Don't spell it out, and don't put punctuation after it!
One station sent something like:
<name> SS. <name> SS,
so there was no way to click on the state abbreviation (SS) and *not*
get the period or comma along with it, at least in WriteLog.
I won't even get started about the guy who separated the two copies of
his exchange with:
<space><hyphen><space>
Talk about overkill!
