Hi all ...
It appears to be time again for some friendly reminders as to
guidelines of posting to scouts-l ... this has been a pretty
bad week of folks forgetting. All these guidelines are sent
to EVERYONE in the WELCOME file you received when you first
subscribed. The major problems have been:
-- Too much quoting! I cannot stress this enough. If you are
NOT willing to heavily edit a quoted message then DO NOT
QUOTE.
-- Signature lines too long. Come on now ... It seems a few postsers
are wanting us to see how fancy they can make their signature
lines. At most all you need is 4-5 lines ... lets keep things
senseable here.
-- Personal email messages including congratulations (should be
sent privately) and "so and so's email bounced and I'm
sending it to everyone", etc.
-- Try and keep topics limited to scouting and youth groups.
If you have misplaced your copy of the WELCOME file, you can get
a new one by sending email to "LISTSERV@tcu.edu" with a one line
message (no signature lines) that says "GET SCOUTS-L WELCOME".
Thanks for listening. YiS, Jon Eidson, Listowner Scouts-L
