Subject: [WSFA] This list is nine and a half years old today

This list, intended for the use of past and present members of the
Washington Science Fiction Association, is nine and a half (9.5) years
old today.

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.  I suggest you turn it off for everyone, since more and more
people are deleting all such email unread.  (The August 2003 Consumer
Reports magazine is one of many sources that recommends deleting HTML
email unread to cut down on spam.)

This list is not an official WSFA project, however I recommend that
anything sent to the official WSFA email list on Yahoo! also be sent
to this one, since many past and present WSFAns will have nothing to
do with Yahoo!.

72 people have posted 15,384 messages to the list, an average of 4
per day.  2002 through 2010 averaged 12, 4, 6, 9, 4, 3, 2, 2, and 2
messages per day, respectively.  2011 has averaged 2 messages per
day so far.

There are currently 43 subscribers.  Since the last of these messages,
three months ago, nobody has subscribed, unsubscribed, or changed
email address.

Here are all the past and present subscribers and senders, along with
the number of messages they have sent and their email address.  The
email address shown is the one they receive postings on.  All past
and present WSFA members (including non-subscribers) can post to the
list from any email address.  Email addresses in parentheses are the
address a non-subscriber last posted from, or a former subscriber last
subscribed from, and may no longer be valid addresses.

Archives of this list are 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.)

The archives are indexed by date and by sender, and also include a
list of current subscribers and their email addresses.  That list
would be useful in reconstructing this list on another platform if
I'm run over by the proverbial bus.

Please keep in mind that there are no tone-of-voice or body language
cues in email, so messages can often appear much blunter than they
were intended.  Please interpret messages in the best light possible,
and before sending a message please write it as if it might be read
in the worst light possible.  Never post while angry.

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.  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 forward "PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW"
messages without first personally confirming that the message is both
accurate and timely.  Remember, it's your own reputation on the line.

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

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 address.
* Read messages in the archives, even if they're not subscribed.

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.

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