Re: [Sigia-l] sigia-l listserver

Dick:

The list is on the track, but to be effective it should be weeded down to a few 
vital rules, and a well-stated objective.  Of course it must be friendly and 
welcoming.  Should maybe give a little history, and who's behind it all.

Below is the welcome message sent to all who join the list.  May need to be
updated.  Suggestions welcome.

As sole moderator, I do not have time to closely follow every message, so I
have normally reacted to complaints.

This list can be quite busy.  For quality reasons, please observe the
following rules when sending messages to the list. If you have any questions
about whether or not
something is appropriate, feel free to contact the list moderators prior to
posting.


   1.Avoid negative comments about any individual. If there is a problem
with someone on the list, then e-mail that person
     directly. Also, avoid mention of any names if the associated comment is
not positive.
   2.Do not include any foul or obscene language on any message sent to the
list.
   3.Excessive negative generalizations will not be tolerated.
   4.Do not send any chain letters, virus warning letters, or any other type
of "pass it on" e-mail under any circumstances to
     the list.
   5.Do not forward private e-mails to the list.  It is OK to copy part of a
message that has appeared on the list, but it is not
     permitted to copy or forward part or all of a message that someone sent
to you off-list.
   6.Stick to the topic of Information Architecture.
   7.Every e-mail should have added value/substance. "Me too" mail without
added value is not acceptable.
   8.If you are receiving the digest form of this list, please do NOT allow
copies of the digest to appear in any of your posts.
     You may selectively cut and paste relevant portions of a given post to
include in your post, but including the entire
     digest is not allowed.
   9.Please make sure that the subject line matches your post. If you are
taking an existing discussion off on a specific
     tangent, make sure the subject line reflects the change in conversation
direction.
  10.Please do not send attachments to the list.
