updated. It should return to being posted regularly now. If you are new to
the list (IE, you subscribed since it moved to Jackpoint.org, please
familarize yourself with the contents of this document.)
BASIC HELP:
1. Subscribing:
Send email to shadowrn-request@*********.org, no subject, with the
following text in the body:
subscribe [password] [digest-option] [address=<address>]
Subscribe to the mailing list. Your password must be given to
unsubscribe or change your options.
'digest-option' may be either: 'nodigest' or 'digest' (no
quotes!) If you wish to subscribe an address other than the
address you send this request from, you may specify
"address=<email address>" (no brackets around the email
address, no quotes!)
2. Unsubscribing:
Send email to shadowrn-request@*********.org, no subject, with the
following text in the body:
unsubscribe <password> [address]
Unsubscribe from the mailing list. Your password must match
the one you gave when you subscribed. If you are trying to
unsubscribe from a different address than the one you subscribed
from, you may specify it in the 'address' field.
3. To get HELP, including the unsubscribe command, send a message to
shadowrn-request@*********.org no subject, body 'HELP'
4. Viewing your list options:
http://jackpoint.org/mailman/options/shadowrn/your@*****.address
This allows you to check and change your settings.
POSTING GUIDELINES:
1. When replying to a message, be sure to quote what you are replying to.
1a. Snip the part that you aren't replying too, but don't snip so much it
becomes illegible
1b. Be sure to Correctly identify who said what you are quoting.
Good example:
----
On Friday July 18th Bull Said:
>Hello, testing?
Please don't send test messages to the list.
-Adam
-----
Bad Example:
-----
On suchaday Chez said
On suchaday Lucid said
On suchaday Hayden said
>>>Some text
>>20 lines of unreleated text.
>A few more lines of even more unrelated text.
>>Some stuff from the other poster.
Cool. I'd ground that through a quickening for a dollar!
-Adam
-----
1d. Snip a persons signature file, unless it is vital to the reply.
1e. Do not use Old-Shadowrun style quotes.
Example:
>>>>[Cool]<<<<
--Anonymous (10:44:37/7-19-58)
This confuses the people who are on both ShadowRN and ShadowTK, and looks
ugly, to boot.
2. Do not Start a thread that is already OFF TOPIC. [OT]. We get enough
[OT] from topic drift, anyhow.
3. List logs since early '99 are available via the World Wide Web at
http://jackpoint.org/pipermail/shadowrn/
Logs previous to that are currently unavailable pending reorganization.
