Good afternoon gentlemen and ladies, Recently we have had a spate of mis-postings that did not adhere to the rules. Unfortunately one of the incidents cost us some members of the AM Radio list. So I have some suggestions that I ask you read and do your best to comply with.
First, at the bottom of each message is a series of links that will look like this: Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body. This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Please take some time to read the rules for AM Radio. This will give you all the information you need to prevent trouble. For the AM Swap list this is what you will see: AMSWAP mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amswap Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:ams...@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Personally, I read every posting to each list to be sure it is appropriate. Some of you may note that I let very minor infractions slide because anyone can make a mistake. I don't believe in punishing anyone for an honest mistake. But recently we had a mistake that grew legs and before I could stop it, it grew to a real problem for Brian, Todd and myself. In the future I urge you to read each posting from Brian/WA5AM, Todd/KA1KAQ and me, Jim/W5JO to see if the signature line contains the word "Moderator". If it does then please follow the directions. Some of you subscribe to the digest mode so it is easy to fall into a trap and answer a message in the top part of the list before reading later postings. Please guard against this practice. We have a good list and it runs itself very well because everyone here are ladies and gentlemen. On another topic, when you reply on the AM Radio list you will be sending the complete message back to the reflector no matter what button you use, Reply or Reply All. Remember that the Reply button will send the message back to the list and the Reply All button will send it back to the list two times. Another thing I strongly suggest you do is edit your replies to eliminate extraneous material. By that I particularly mean the link information at the bottom of each message. Not often, but occasionally I see a message returned to the list two or three times and the link information at the bottom will be there as many times as the message is sent. Please remove all that for several reasons. One is that is saves space and on an archived list space is important. If you recall Al ran a donation prize contest before transferring the list to the current owner. So the current owner has expenses to maintain and server space and access to high speed internet isn't cheap. So donate if you can, and please understand we moderators try to stay on the sidelines as much as possible. We enjoy the postings and I, personally, have found a lot of good information here and made quite a few good friends. Thank you for your patience. 73 Jim/W5JO ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
