Hi everyone. Firstly, my sincere thanks to the many of you who have written off-list supporting our efforts to ensure that the BrailleNote list continues to be a place of worth when it comes to subjects relating to the Pulse Data PDA family.
Many lists post their rules on a monthly basis as a reminder to participants and we feel this is a good approach. We've also taken the time to expand upon the original guidelines, as we appreciate that not everyone has extensive experience with e-mail lists and what is known as netiquette, which basically refers to appropriate conduct on the Internet. The Rules are listed below. If you have any queries, please write to me or Dean Jackson privately rather than on the list. Thanks again. The generosity with which people give of their knowledge and time to assist other users is much appreciated. We strongly recommend that you save this message in a safe place in case you need to refer back to it. This introductory message contains information about how to post to and leave the list, as well as the rules of operation for this list. Remaining subscribed to the list signifies your agreement to comply fully with the few simple and common-sense rules in force here. If you do not agree with these rules, please unsubscribe by sending a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The BrailleNote List is operated by Pulse Data International Ltd, manufacturers of the innovative and powerful blindness PDA products. It is a forum where current and potential users of the BrailleNote and VoiceNote can share tips, tricks and suggestions. Pulse Data International staff monitor and contribute to the list, so you can be sure that product suggestions are read and logged for future consideration. We welcome your feedback to help us ensure that our PDA family continues to be the market leader. The list is specifically about the BrailleNote, and is not a general blindness technology list. There are many blindness-related lists on the Internet which encourage discussion of a general nature. If you have questions about blindness and/or blindness technology that exceed the very narrow scope of this particular list, those lists would welcome you. Subscription information for many of them may be found at the following URL. http://www.hicom.net/~oedipus/blist.html With hundreds of blindness lists to choose from, we require that messages be kept strictly on topic, that is to say that all messages pertain to the Pulse Data PDA family of products. We insist on this simply because each message you send to the list address will go to hundreds of people, all of whom are here for one purpose, to talk about Pulse Data's PDA family. In rare cases where contributors persistently stay off the topic of this list, Pulse Data reserves the right to screen a person's posts for relevance. Before posting a message, please consider the number of people who will see it, and whether it will add value to the list. For example, posting a reply simply stating "I agree" adds no value to the list. Please check that the subject of the message is still relevant when you are replying. It's inevitable that conversations evolve over time, and what started as a thread on the word processor could easily evolve into a thread about the web browser. If you notice that the subject of the message now has little relevance to its content, please feel free to take the initiative and change the subject. This is also good because someone who doesn't feel too confident about helping a user with word processor issues might skip the message after reading its subject, even though they are an expert on the web browser. So a message with a descriptive subject line is more likely to get you useful help. Finally, if you have any concerns about the conduct of another list participant, the list policies or the way they are administered, do not post them to the list as a whole, since this tends to generate considerable off-topic traffic. Instead, please write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll be more than willing to take suggestions or clarify any issues with you. If you have any questions about your subscription to the list, please e-mail mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To post a message to the BrailleNote List, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you wish to remove yourself from the list, simply send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can view the archives for the list, or change your preferences, at the following URL http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote A warm welcome to you, we hope you'll enjoy the BrailleNote list. ____________________________________________ Braillenote mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
