Please inform me before your email address goes away.  Please make
sure your mailbox doesn't overflow.  Please temporarily unsubscribe
if you're going to be offline for a long time.  Thank you.

Also, to help keep mailboxes from overflowing, and to keep from
stuffing everyone's mailboxes with multiple copies of the same stuff
over and over again, please don't include more of the message you're
replying to than is necessary to establish context.  Recent messages
have often contained ALL of the message they were replying to, which
in turn contained ALL of the message THAT message was replying to,
several levels deep!  No matter how wonderful a message is, nobody
wants to get multiple copies of it.  Thank you.

Also, please don't post more than one or two paragraphs from any
copyrighted source.  Instead, please just post the URL.  Thanks.

Archives of this list are at http://www.wsfa.org/list/, mirrored at
http://keithlynch.net/wsfa/list/.  Please do not link any public web
pages to these archives, or mention them, or the email address of
this list, on any other mailing list or any newsgroup.  Please do not
forward messages sent to this list to anyone except past and present
WSFA members without the permission of the sender.  (You're welcome
to mention the *existence* of this list to anyone.)

HTML messages and messages with attachments cannot be posted to the
list, for several reasons, including the fact that they can convey
viruses and web bugs, which can reveal your private information
to others.  If your mailer defaults to sending HTML, please see
http://www.expita.com/nomime.html for instructions on how to turn it
off.  I suggest you turn it off for everyone, since more and more
people are deleting all such email unread.

Any past or present WSFA member can:

* Subscribe to this list.
* Post to this list, even if they're not subscribed.  And can do so
  from any email addresss.
* Read messages in the archives.

Please don't post anything that you don't want to be seen by all WSFA
members, now and in the future.  But don't assume that what you post
here will be seen by all WSFA members, or by any one of them in
particular.

Please don't CC any messages to non-subscribers without a good reason
for each one.  WSFAns who aren't subscribed to the list do not wish to
receive email meant for all WSFAns.

This is a very low budget operation.  Obviously, a WSFA.ORG email
address would have been nicer, than a KEITHLYNCH.NET address, but
WSFA.ORG only serves static web pages.

KEITHLYNCH.NET is hosted by PLETHORA.NET in Minnesota.  This domain
has the advantage that I "own" every possible email address on it, so
I can simply decide that "WSFAlist" will go to the list.  But the list
itself is actually running on PANIX.COM in New York.

It will be up to our secretary which messages to print in the WSFA
Journal.  If you don't want a particular message printed in the WSFA
Journal, please say so in the message.  (We may want to change this
policy, so that our secretary can only reprint a message with explicit
permission from the sender.  Does anyone care one way or the other?
Is anyone even reading this?  I didn't think so.)

Subscribes, unsubscribes, and archive updates are handled manually.
Usually within a day.  Except archive updates, which are usually once
or twice a week.

Please tell me anything else which you think should have been in this
message, which I post every month.  Thanks.
