Just a quarterly reminder to bring the list rules to the front of our
minds. Please think of them when tempted to post off topic to the
list. If it's not shell related, send it privately.
Rule 3. NO Off-Topic Postings:
A primary rule on any list is to respect the list's published subject by
not posting off-topic messages.
RULE 4. NO FLAMING: Remember, postings to CONCH-L are
archived. Please don't embarrass yourself in perpetuity.
Rule No. 1: NO Advertising:
Commercial Advertising is not allowed; not even by non-profit
organizations. UGA, as a community
service, "grants the use of its facilities to organizations whose
activities contribute to its mission."
CONCH-L is considered to be an "educational resource," and therefore
falls within UGA's mission.
However, UGA and the State of Georgia have strict rules that do not
allow use of these resources for personal gain, thus no free
advertising or commercial messages. In particular:
If you have doubt about whether your message is advertising or not, send
it to the List Manager at
[log in to unmask] who will look it over and let you know if
it's postable.
Rule 2. NO Big Files:
Please don't send image files or other documents larger than 4 text
pages to the list. DO NOT send attached files to the list. Not everyone
has a powerful computer or a fast Internet connection. Large files can
lock up some computers or cause loss of messages arriving behind them.
Also, some subscribers pay directly for receiving and storing messages.
If you have a great image file or document that you think the
subscribers of CONCH-L would be interested in, post an announcement.
That way interested subscribers will be able to contact you directly for
more information. This is especially important if it is an image file,
as you will have to explain what they need to do to view the file
