Send the following message to listserv@********.itribe.net

unsubscribe shadowrn

FYI, you can send the message "help" to any
listserv/listproc/majordomo for a list of commands that that list
recognizes.

You take a very sharp stick, place the point at eye level......


I don't mind people asking how to unsubscribe, but when they don't
even give an excuse as to why they don't bother looking for a FAQ....

As I had a computer crash my hard drive had to be reformated so I lost
all book marks and e-mail address stored. I've been trying to retrace
the steps I had taken over the corse of several months to reaquire all
the sites and information I have lost, but at this time to no luck, and
I was getting tired of web searching (not surfing).
Done.

Greetings!!!

When I unsubcribed my AOL account, I had trouble finding a FAQ. I finally
did an Alta Vista serach and located one.

Some one should probably create a ShadowRN web page with the FAQ on it,
if there isn't all ready one. I plan on putting the FAQ on my web page.

It has been on my page for almost a year, and recently taken off and moved
to Dvixen's page at www.coastnet.com/~dvixen/shadowrn when she took over
for me as FAQ maintainer. There's a link on my page to it, as well.

Please do NOT archive the FAQ on your web page. Create a link to my page
or Dvixen's page, but do not put the FAQ yourself on your page. Doing so
would mean several versions of the FAQ are floating around, and would imply
that you have some sort of official status as FAQ archiver, which you do not.

You *may* put a link to the FAQ page :
http://coastnet.com/~dvixen/shadowrn.html
Or to any of the pages that the FAQ's are located
(.../shadowrn/srnfaq1.html, srnfaq2.html, srnfaq3.html) or their text
counterparts.

But you may *not* put a separate copy on your web site.
(This goes for everyone. The Admins and myself are not responsible for those
twonks who put incorrect FAQ's for the mailing list on their web pages.)

If you pay attention to peoples .SIG files, you MIGHT just notice that the
FAQ is pointed to by at least 2 people.

AND FOR GODS SAKE, STOP QUOTING WHOLE POSTS AT THE END OF YOUR ARTICLES!!!

I usually do not pay attention to the Sig Files as a whole. Though, the
FAQ SHOULD show up on a web browser search regardless. When I did the
search I found six links, NONE of which worked.

I would think the group would want a FAQ that is easily found through a
simple web search, as well as a widely known location, in case they need
the FAQ in a hurry.

Of course now that I know where the FAQ, I will put a LINK to it on my
page, and encourage others to do the same.

As far as I know, I am not quoting entire posts at the end of my post
anymore. When I noticed Juno was doing that, I turned that function off.

Doc Doom's page still exists, I visited it today (and yesterday). It's
not updated, but ... I understand the problem, though. It would be better
to have a pointer to the FAQs or FAQ site at somewhere like The Shadowrun
Archive (hey Paolo!), since that is somewhere that gets lots of traffic
from people who would be interested in the list. You wouldn't have to
worry about the search engine thing (almost everybody who looks into SR
on the web visits the place, or so it seems) as much.

If you can't find the FAQ by web search, ask on list. That is the one thing
I won't be mad about. ;)

I have no control over who links the FAQ pages, but yes, I will be asking
Paolo to make certain the links are correct in his archive.

(And everyone who intends on being on the list for any amount of time should
know where they are. Start now by reading the .sig file)

Since the BKK currently links to Wordman's ShadowFAQ, we may as well
link to the SRCARD & ShadowRn FAQ's too! I believe we regularly get
about 60-100 hits per day, but I have no idea how many of these include
visits to our Matrix Links Page.

I'll presume these to be *the* correct URL's. They'll be included in
our next site update!
