Posting to Kundaliniyoga

[Guest guest]

Hi to all

 

I'd just like to bring a few general points to everyone's attention. This is

not a list where the owner jumps down anyone's throat the instant they step

out of line - I hope! ;-) However some things can help the list to run

better, look more professional and be easier to research and to read in

digest form.

 

First of all, attachments. You may notice occasionally a posting coming

through with the footnote from ONElist - "attachments removed from this

message". There is a reason for this. Most viruses on the Net these days

hide in attachments. Because of this, ONElist have introduced an option for

list owners to stop attachments being sent to their lists. I have made use

of this for everyone's protection. In any case, attachments have always been

excluded by ONElist from message archives and list digests.

 

Next item is message quoting. When replying to someone, please ensure that

you trim all excess message headers and trailers - just leave in the

original posters name at the top, and then only quote from the part of the

message to which you are referring. Do not quote an entire message and then

add the footnote "I agree" - this kind of posting is frowned upon all over

the Net.

 

If a subject has changed, then change the subject header for your reply -

messages running under redundant or irrelevant headings make future

retrieval of archived information very difficult.

 

To from this list you must follow the directions contained in

all message trailers. The options given are the only ones that work. Posting

a request to the list will not. Hint - most failures to are down

to the request itself being mis-spelled!

 

We have not had much trouble with flamers. A yogic flamer is an oxymoron!

The policy has evolved here - anyone flaming is put on moderated status, and

is likely to remain there for the foreseeable future. That just means that

all their postings are flagged for approval before they reach the list.

 

SPAM has also not been in evidence. SPAMMERS will receive the same treatment

as flamers.

 

You can read all this stuff and lots more in the FAQ - the most up-to-date

version is always available on the Web Site (address

in all message trailers.

 

If anyone has any questions they wish to ask me over any of the above

points, or anything else relating to the operation of this mailing list,

please do so Off-List. You can contact me either directly -

gordon

or as kundaliniyoga-owner

 

Finally, I would draw your attention to the excellent websites covering

Netiquette and associated topics that are mentioned in our Web Site Links

Section. You will find them in the last Links page - the one covering

general topics.

 

Enjoy the list and enjoy your Kundalini Yoga.

 

Sat Nam!

This point deserves a posting all to itself.

 

Compliance entails a bit of effort, worthy effort none the less.

Gordon, thank you.

 

I also see no reason to make a comment and then follow the comment with

a posting of the entire letter that seemed to solicited the comment.

What I've done up above has always been enough for me to track down the

subject string's origin in its entirety should my memory fail. But then

that could be an example of where my balance is (or lack there of) these

days ;-)

Blessed Be,

Penel
