PINHOLE DISCUSSION MAILING LIST POLICIES AND RULES
Document dated: Monday, February 11, 2002

PURPOSE OF THE LIST:
The purpose of the pinhole discussion mailing list is the discussion of any
and all aspects of pinhole photography. All messages sent to this list
should relate to pinhole photography.

THE RULES OF THE LIST:
List membership is a privilege, and list members are expected to treat each
other with proper respect. Personal attacks or "flames" will not be
tolerated and can get one banned from the list.

If you encounter any problems of any kind in using the list, please notify

        pinhole-discussion-admin@pinhole.com

Please do not send problems you may encounter to the list. The only ones
who can help you solve these problems are the list administrators.

REPLYING OR POSTING TO THE LIST:
Do NOT post messages in HTML format. All postings to the list should be
sent as "plain text". Some email programs by default send email messages as
HTML, the MS Outlook Express and Netscape's Communicator are often set up
to send all email messages as HTML. If you use one of these programs or any
mail program that sends email as HTML, please change your setting so that
your messages will be sent as "plain text" ONLY. Do not post to the list
until you KNOW that you are posting as "plain text", and NOT "HTML". If you
need help in setting your email program to "plain text", please contact one
of the list administrators at pinhole-discussion-admin@pinhole.com.

Do NOT post attachments. Attachments are not welcome on this list.
Attachments are files that are attached to an email message. They are
large. They usually can only be accessed with a specific program. They can
unintentionally carry viruses. A significant portion of the list is unable
to use attachments. Please do not send attachments to the list. All email
to the list should be sent as plain text. This is the one and only standard
used by all computers and all email programs.

When you "reply" (using your email program's reply feature) to messages you
receive from the list, your reply will automatically be directed back to
the mailing list and NOT to the person who sent the message. In order to
send a private message back to someone who sent a message through the list
by replying, you must change the To: address from
pinhole-discussion@pinhole.com to the individual's e-mail address. It is
ALWAYS a good idea to check who you are sending an e-mail to before sending
it.

To post to this list, send your email to

        pinhole-discussion@pinhole.com

WARNINGS, VIRUSES, ETC.:
There are always a number of hoaxes traversing the net, where one is urged
to email an urgent warning message concerning some catastrophic new virus,
government policy, etc to everyone you know. These are almost always
hoaxes. Do not send copies of these to the list, even if you are sure it is
legitimate.
