Before you post a message to the list, ask yourself, "Do thousands of users need/want to read what I have to say?" If you're simply making a joke about a prior post, the answer to this question is NO. Reply privately to the sender ONLY if you feel compelled. If you answer, "Well, Bob needs to know this," then respond to BOB, NOT to the list. Don't force thousands of people to read your exchange with Bob. We haven't done anything to you, so don't punish us by making us read dreck. If you answer, "I'm angry about that remark Bill made, and I want everyone to know how righteously indignant I am," then DON'T POST. We have concerns that don't include your righteous indignation; send your flame privately. And if you're indignant about a joke someone made, you're better off not flaunting your lack of a sense of humor in front of a lot of users. If you answer, "I need to point out the typo/wrong word/grammatical error that John made," DON'T post to the list. Assume we're aware of your superior spelling/lexigraphical/grammar skills because we've read your flawless posts. If you answer, "But I want to unsubscribe," bear in mind that none of the list's readers can help you anyway. Sending an unsubscribe request to a mailing list is a sure way to fill your box with hate mail from the users of the list. Refer to the welcome message you received when you joined the list for instructions on how to subscribe. If you answer, "But I *really* need to know about ," then you're asking in the wrong place. There's a newsgroup for whatever it is you want to know about; go look for it. The list is not a general information source, but rather a _specific_ information source. Don't clog it with topics that don't pertain to it. If, and ONLY if, you can honestly answer, "I have some information that's helpful to the group," OR "I have a problem that no FAQ can answer," then by all means, post your message, then sit back and wait for a helpful response. People like to be helpful and will type with their noses if they have to to get you an answer you can use. LEARN how to quote ================== A good message does NOT contain the entire text of the message to which it's responding; ONLY salient points (usually, a single sentence or sentence fragment) should be included. Do NOT quote an entire message or an entire paragraph, and if you quote a header or a .sig, you deserve the flames you get for it. As you've surely noticed by now, there's a LOT of traffic in this list; do your share to cut down the load by learning how to quote effectively. Don't know how to copy/paste, or use your browser's quote facility? Then paraphrase. "Dave Jones asked how to get magenta text on a black background; the answer is..."

Sender: html-authors-guild-owner@lists.stanford.edu Hi all, Due to the workload at this site, the new majordomo software has not been installed yet. As you all know, the current software supports neither the digest option or the nomail option. So, a workaround has been created. For subscription information and details, send mail to: majordomo@majordomo.srv.ualberta.ca With the body of the message mentioning: subscribe hwg-digest And please follow the instructions or you will be getting double email. This list is a digest version of the Guild's main list. Digests are sent nightly (near midnight EST), and include all the messages sent to the list the previous day. Note that these digests will typically be quite large, so your mail system must be able to handle single messages of up to 4000 lines, or 200K of text. If you receive the regular version of the mailing list, you will need to remove yourself by sending an unsub message to . So, by getting the hwg-digest version, you are agreeing to participate in a read-only capacity for the time being. We are working on an option to fix this limitation, too.
