Forwards and Petitions

This ADMIN notice was posted to the list on 07/15/00


There has been a slight change in the policy regarding messages that can be forwarded to the list. In an effort to maintain a level of security for all we have decided that forwarding of petitions to the list not be allowed. A petition is defined as any email message that requests the recipient to add his/her name and location or email address to the end of the message and to forward it on to "everyone you know".

These petitions are also usually EXTREMELY long and take up quite a bit of space when people receive the list in digest format. Repeating petitions make for very long and dull reading!

Finally, please remember when sending ANY forward to edit out all headers with email addresses and suppress the email addresses of other recipients. We have over 200 people on this list, many of whom don't post (not to mention the people who subscribe and unsubscribe in a short time span) and it is possible that someone could steal a list of addresses for spamming purposes.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the members of the Mod Squad, or send an e-mail message to [email protected] for clarification.
