How strange! I haven't subscribed to the digest mailing list. I receive the
messages individually and am quite happy with that arrangement.

Welcome to the EDline digest mailing list, the mailing list for
discussions on matters editorial and editorial business.
Thank you for joining; we hope that you find this list
interesting and useful.

Some notes on the use of EDline:
1. Please try to adhere to standard netiquette. This includes, but
is not limited to:
a. Don't type in all CAPITALS. ALL CAPS IS THE CONVENTION FOR
YELLING.
If you wish to emphasize a word, use one of these conventions:
1. This _word_ is emphasized.
2. This *word* is emboldened.
b. Disagreements are inevitable, but please refrain from engaging
in flame wars. We are *not* saying you can't argue on this list,
but please try to adhere to the following:
1. Stick to the facts, unless stating your opinion, but please
make it clear that it is your opinion.
2. Do not use profanity. This list is not the place for it.
If a list member is consistently abusive, they will be
unsubscribed.
d. If someone continuously attempts to SPAM the list, they will be
removed immediately from the subscribers list. If it's a grey
area, the subscriber will be warned. After a couple of warnings,
they will be banned from the list.
e. Please provide complete answers. Take your time to decide what
the question is asking, and then answer it. When you answer it,
please try to provide references.
f. When posting your question, provide a meaningful subject line.
Just putting "The internet", is not helpful or meaningful.
Putting "The internet; My ideas on how to make it a better
place." is much better.
g. Please don't post "Me too" type messages. This includes "Thank
you", and "I agree". If you feel the need to send this type of
reply, send it privately to the poster. What this basically
means, is that if someone helps you out, or you want a file the
poster has offered to anyone wanting it, send them the message
privately. If you agree with what a list member has posted,
don't add "I agree" to the end and send it back to the list.
h. Try to eliminate as much of the original post when you quote as
possible without eliminating the important aspects. Try to cut
out as much as possible while retaining the general gist of the
original message. On the other side of the coin, do at least
quote some of the message, so that other list members will be
able to see what you are answering to and be able to follow
along.
i. Please don't send attachments with your post.
2. Messages that you wish to be posted to the list, should be
sent to:
< edline--@electriceditors.net >
If you are having difficulties with the list, please contact us
