I hope David won't mind me reposting his occasional reminder (last
posted 24 June) re the List rules and guidelines. They included the
requirement that attachments do not exceed 100KB; how one achieves that
is of course up to the individual.
cheers all
Ian

Greetings. Our list now has some 215 members and generally continues to
function well, thanks to all subscribers including especially those who
make regular contributions.
>From time to time I send to the list a reminder about the list rules.
We
keep these to a minimum, but they remain important if we are to all
benefit from and enjoy the list. Here are the list rules.
- Messages sent to the CanberraBirds email list SHOULD NOT
- * be of a purely commercial nature
- * contain offensive or inappropriate language
- * contain personal attacks - discuss the message, not the
messenger
- * stray too far from our main topics: the wild birds of the
Canberra/ACT region, their habitats & conservation
- * messages, including attachments, should be under 100 kb in
size.
At a recent meeting, COG's Committee of Management discussed the
CanberraBirds list. The Committee confirmed the appropriateness of
these
rules, and also asks subscribers to bear in mind the following:
- * Please make sure that the subject line is
relevant
to your message. So, if you are replying to a message,
continuing the same thread, then hit 'reply all' , delete the address
of
the person who sent the previous message, and retain the previous
subject
line. If you are initiating a discussion or want to post information on
another topic, however, please create a new message with an appropriate
subject line.
- * Please delete unnecessary earlier text when
replying to a message. Apparently some subscribers, perhaps
those with slow dial-up connections, find some difficulty with messages
containing a number of posts on a given thread. Of course, sometimes it
is helpful to retain the full thread but on other occasions earlier
messages are not necessary.
If you have any comments on this or other matter pertaining to how
the list is run, pls respond to me directly
(m("canberrabirds.org.au","coglists-owner");">) rather than to the whole list.
Good birding!
