Mailing List Guidelines

  1. Don't post HTML to the list (some mail-agents can post HTML & Text, turn off that option).
  2. If you have just joined a list, read the archive first to get a glimpse of the atmosphere. A short introduction of yourself helps further to know each other better.
  3. Don't post 2-3 lines mails saying "I agree" to a previous article, or better reply to the sender of the submission direct.
  4. If you quote an post in your reply, please remove any redundance such as personal signatures/footers etc. Let's keep every post as informative as possible.
  5. Avoid postings of pages which could be read on WWW as well, just post the URL which might be of interest or
  6. If posting a longer article, then only in the meaning of discussing the article with all members of the list.
  7. Don't post personal emails to the list without prior permission from the original author.
  8. Don't post pictures to the list, as many people have difficulty to handle long emails (100KB is the maximum length of a post allowed).
  9. Avoid "blunt" advertising of services or products.
  10. No chain-letters of any kind or announcements of computer viruses.
