Hi everyone, I hope that everyone is doing well and you are getting out and taking some time to do some pinhole.
I'm very proud to anounce that we now have 550 members to the pinhole list. Keep up the good work. This is one of the, if not the best photo discussion group on the web. Plus a big thanks to Gregg and Guy who with out them this list would not be as good as it is. It looks like the World Wide Pinhole Photography Day II is going well. Remember to support it in any way that you can. I believe it is the best way to spread the wonderful world of pinhole around the planet. Below you will find a few "rules" or guide lines as I like to call them that contain to the pinohole discussion list. If you are new to the group I suggest that you print them out and keep them close by. Sorry I havn't been around much but I have been having some personal problems that have kept me away from working with the list as much as I would like. If you are having some probles with the list I suggest that you get in touch with either Gregg or Guy first, if for some reason they can not resolve your problem,(which I doubt) then come to me. It might take me some time to respond but I will get back to you. Also remember that you can do much if not all of the admin work yourself. James ============================================ PINHOLE DISCUSSION MAILING LIST Document dated: February 15, 2001 ============================================ PURPOSE OF THE LIST: The purpose of the pinhole discussion mailing list is the discussion of any and all aspects of pinhole photography. All messages sent to this list should be related to pinhole photography. ============================================ THE RULES OF THE LIST: There are no specific rules for participating on this list. But everyone is reminded that list membership is a privilege, and list members are expected to treat each other with proper respect. Personal attacks or "flames" will not be tolerated and can get one banned from the list. If you encounter any problems of any kind in using the list, please notify James Kellar at ja...@kellar.com, Gregg Kemp at gregg.kemp@p at ???????, or Guy Glorieux at guy.glori...@sympatico.ca. Please do not send problems you may encounter to the list. The only ones who can help you solve these problems are James, Gregg or Guy. At this time please contact Gregg or Guy first. If you do not get a responce from either of them then e-mail James. ============================================ REPLYING TO POSTINGS: Messages sent to you via the discussion list are set up to "behave" differently from messages sent to you by an individual. When you "reply" (using your email program's reply feature) to messages you receive from the list, your reply will automatically be directed back to the mailing list and NOT to the person who sent the message. The list program creates a Replyto: discussion-list@p at ??????? line in the mail message header. This tells your email program to send the message back to the list rather than the person who originally sent the message. In order to send a private message back to someone who sent a message through the list by replying, you must change the To: address from pinhole-discussion@p at ??????? to the individual's e-mail address. Note that if someone puts the list in the Cc: field rather than the To: field, the reply may go to the sender rather than the list. For this reason, it is ALWAYS a good idea to check who you are sending an e-mail to before sending it. ============================================ ATTACHMENTS Attachments are files that are attached to an email message. The email system is designed to send messages using standard ASCII character set. Attachments are a way of sending a content that uses characters outside of the ASCII standard. Attachments are not welcome on this list. They are large. They usually can only be accessed with a specific program. They can unintentionally carry viruses. A significant portion of the list is unable to use attachments. Please do not send attachments to the list. All email to the list should be send as plain text. This is the one and only standard used by all computers and all email programs. Some email programs by default send email messages as attachments, the MS Outlook Express and Netscape's Communicator are often set up to send all email messages as two attachments, one in plain text (ASCII) and one in 'rich' text (html format). If you use these programs please change your setting so that your messages will be sent as plain text ONLY. ============================================ WARNINGS, VIRUSES, TAXES, END OF THE WORLD ETC.... There are always a number of hoaxes traversing the net, where one is urged to email an urgent warning message concerning some catastrophic new virus, government policy, etc to everyone you know.... These are almost always hoaxes. Do not send copies of these to the list, even if you are sure it is legitimate. ============================================ SUBSCRIBING, UNSUBSCRIBING, and changing PREFERENCES 1) go to: http://www.p at ???????/discussion/ 2) enter your email to enter your account (this is near the bottom of the page), 3) on your account page, make any changes and then enter your password to make the changes effective.
