[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder

2009-09-01 Thread Moderator

Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list.

This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects 
of computing with the blind user in mind.


List Guidelines:

The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every 
member is expected to abide by them.


1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated.

2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be 
tolerated.


3. Advertising is not permitted.

4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted.

5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an 
article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send
it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the 
list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list 
send it

to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before
obtaining approval.

6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not 
make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to 
discussions

of Blind advocacy groups,
products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation 
for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure 
whether
or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before 
posting.


7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the 
following manner:


Using the TO: field with only one list address.

The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect
do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists 
at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for
each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists 
with

unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.

The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any 
member names.


8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of
Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers 
Braille devices etc.), Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer 
building.


9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as "I 
Need help" or "Does anyone know" are not descriptive and might be ignored

by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query.

10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the 
conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new

conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic.

11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto 
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not

included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before 
reading your post.


If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else 
not on this list!


If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of 
your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it.


Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups 
and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more 
knowledge
and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more 
proficient.


If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run 
do not post them to the list contact the list management team.


It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another 
member for an improper post let the management Team do their job.


Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us 
to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get

thru this thing called life!

* By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and 
agree to abide by them. If you don't agree, then you should unsubscribe.

[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder

2010-05-01 Thread Moderator

Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list.

This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects 
of computing with the blind user in mind.


List Guidelines:

The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every 
member is expected to abide by them.


1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated.

2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be 
tolerated.


3. Advertising is not permitted.

4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted.

5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an 
article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send
it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the 
list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list 
send it

to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before
obtaining approval.

6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not 
make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to 
discussions

of Blind advocacy groups,
products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation 
for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure 
whether
or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before 
posting.


7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the 
following manner:


Using the TO: field with only one list address.

The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect
do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists 
at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for
each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists 
with

unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.

The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any 
member names.


8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of
Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers 
Braille devices etc.), Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer 
building.


9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as "I 
Need help" or "Does anyone know" are not descriptive and might be ignored

by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query.

10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the 
conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new

conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic.

11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto 
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not

included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before 
reading your post.


If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else 
not on this list!


If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of 
your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it.


Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups 
and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more 
knowledge
and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more 
proficient.


If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run 
do not post them to the list contact the list management team.


It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another 
member for an improper post let the management Team do their job.


Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us 
to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get

1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated.

2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be 
tolerated.


3. Advertising is not permitted.

4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted.

5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an 
article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send
it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the 
list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list 
send it

to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before
obtaining approval.

6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not 
make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to 
discussions

of Blind advocacy groups,
products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation 
for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure 
whether
or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before 
posting.


7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the 
following manner:


Using the TO: field with only one list address.

The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect
do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists 
at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for
each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists 
with

unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.

8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of
Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers 
Braille devices etc) Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer 
building.


9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as "I 
Need help" or "Does anyone know" are not descriptive and might be ignored
by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. Also do not 
include any member names in the subject line.


10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the 
conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new

conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic.

11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto 
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not

included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

12. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with 
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this
is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means 
that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum.


No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before 
reading your post.


If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else 
not on this list!


If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of 
your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it.


Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups 
and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more 
knowledge
and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more 
proficient.


If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run 
do not post them to the list contact the list management team.


It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another 
member for an improper post let the management Team do their job.


Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us 
to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get

thru this thing called life!

7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the 
following manner:


Using the TO: field with only one list address.

The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect
do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists 
at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for
each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists 
with

unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.

8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of
Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers 
Braille devices etc) Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer 
building.


9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as "I 
Need help" or "Does anyone know" are not descriptive and might be ignored
by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. Also do not 
include any member names in the subject line.


10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the 
conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new

conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic.

11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto 
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not

included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

12. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with 
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this
is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means 
that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum.


No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before 
reading your post.


If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else 
not on this list!


If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of 
your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it.


Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups 
and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more 
knowledge
and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more 
proficient.


If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run 
do not post them to the list contact the list management team.


It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another 
member for an improper post let the management Team do their job.


Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us 
to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get

thru this thing called life!

[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder

2012-02-01 Thread Moderator
Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list.

This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects 
of computing with the blind user in mind.

List Guidelines:

The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every 
member is expected to abide by them.

1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated.

2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be 
tolerated.

3. Advertising is not permitted.

4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted.

5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an 
article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send
it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the 
list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list 
send it
to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before
obtaining approval.

6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not 
make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to 
discussions
of Blind advocacy groups,
products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation 
for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure 
whether
or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before 
posting.

7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the 
following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address.

The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect
do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists 
at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for
each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists 
with
unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.

8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of
Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers 
Braille devices etc) Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer 
building.

9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as "I 
Need help" or "Does anyone know" are not descriptive and might be ignored
by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. Also do not 
include any member names in the subject line.

10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the 
conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new
conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic.

11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto 
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not
included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

12. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with 
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this
is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means 
that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum.

[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder

2012-09-01 Thread Moderator
Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list.

This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects 
of computing with the blind user in mind.

List Guidelines:

The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every 
member is expected to abide by them.

1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated.

2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be 
tolerated.

3. Advertising is not permitted.

4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted.

5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an 
article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send
it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the 
list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list 
send it
to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before
obtaining approval.

6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not 
make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to 
discussions
of Blind advocacy groups,
products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation 
for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure 
whether
or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before 
posting.

7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the 
following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address.

The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect
do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists 
at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for
each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists 
with
unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.

8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of
Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers 
Braille devices etc) Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer 
building.

9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as "I 
Need help" or "Does anyone know" are not descriptive and might be ignored
by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. Also do not 
include any member names in the subject line.

10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the 
conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new
conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic.

11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto 
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not
included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

12. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with 
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this
is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means 
that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum.

No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before 
reading your post.

If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else 
not on this list!

If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of 
your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it.

Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups 
and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more 
knowledge
and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more 
proficient.

If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run 
do not post them to the list contact the list management team.

It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another 
member for an improper post let the management Team do their job.

Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us 
to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get
thru this thing called life!

* By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and 
agree to abide by them. If you don't agree, then you should unsubscribe.

5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an 
article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send
it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the 
list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list 
send it
to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before
obtaining approval.

6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not 
make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to 
discussions

do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists 
at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for

by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query.

10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the 
conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new
conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic.

11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto 
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not
included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before 
reading your post.

If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else 
not on this list!

If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of 
your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it.

Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups 
and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more 
knowledge
and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more 
proficient.

If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run 
do not post them to the list contact the list management team.

It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another

following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address.

The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any
member names.

The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect

do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists
at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for

each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists
with

unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.

8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of

Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers
Braille devices etc.), Computer operation, Computer maintenance and

Computer building.

9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as "I
Need help" or "Does anyone know" are not descriptive and might be ignored

by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query.

10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the
conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new

conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic.

11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not

included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before
reading your post.

If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else
not on this list!

If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of
your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of

it.

Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups
and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more

knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to
become more proficient.

The use of a spell checker is strongly encouraged.

If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run
do not post them to the list contact the list management team.

It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another
member for an improper post let the management Team do their job.

Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us
to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get

thru this thing called life!

This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects 
of computing with the blind user in mind.

List Guidelines:
The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every 
member is expected to abide by them.

1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated.
2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be 
tolerated.
3. Advertising is not permitted.
4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted.
5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an 
article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this

list send it
to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. 
Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another

list send it
to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before
obtaining approval.
6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not 
make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited
to discussions
of Blind advocacy groups,
products for the blind that are not computer-related items,
Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are 
not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the

list owner for
approval before posting.
7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the 
following manner:
Using the TO: field with only one list address.
The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any 
member names.
The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and

in effect do
not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at 
the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic

for each and
every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with
unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.
8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of
Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers 
Braille devices etc.), Computer operation, Computer maintenance and

Computer building.
9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as "I 
Need help" or "Does anyone know" are not descriptive and might be

ignored by
the very person who might otherwise have answered your query.
10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the 
conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a

new conversation
message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic.
11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto 
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is

not included.
Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!
No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before 
reading your post.
If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else 
not on this list!
If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of 
your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message

out of it.
Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups 
and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with

more knowledge
and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more 
proficient.
The use of a spell checker is strongly encouraged.
If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run 
do not post them to the list contact the list management team.
It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another 
member for an improper post let the management Team do their job.

Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us 
to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that

help us get thru
this thing called life!

* By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and 
agree to abide by them. If you don't agree, then you should

If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else 
not on this list!

If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of 
your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it.

Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups 
and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more 
knowledge
and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more 
proficient.

If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run 
do not post them to the list contact the list management team.

It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another 
member for an improper post let the management Team do their job.

Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us 
to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get
thru this thing called life!

[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder

2013-05-01 Thread Moderator
Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list.

This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects 
of computing with the blind user in mind.

List Guidelines:

The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every 
member is expected to abide by them.

1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated.

2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be 
tolerated.

3. Advertising is not permitted.

4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted.

5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an 
article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send
it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the 
list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list 
send it
to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before
obtaining approval.

6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not 
make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to 
discussions
of Blind advocacy groups,
products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation 
for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure 
whether
or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before 
posting.

7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the 
following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address.

The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect
do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists 
at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for
each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists 
with
unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.

8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of
Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers 
Braille devices etc) Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer 
building.

9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as "I 
Need help" or "Does anyone know" are not descriptive and might be ignored
by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. Also do not 
include any member names in the subject line.

10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the 
conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new
conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic.

11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto 
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not
included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

12. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with 
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this
is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means 
that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum.

No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before 
reading your post.

If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else 
not on this list!

If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of

member for an improper post let the management Team do their job.
