Jenni, we have very few rules...what ones we do have are in the tagline about every 4th message and it reads, " NOTICE: Posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc. (in other words - spam) is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact Kathleen Burnett [email protected]" Those are the only rules. We like to encourage other items, but they are not rules. Like placing in the subject line what your message is about. Deleting old tag lines when you post knowing that as soon as you post to the list another tagline will attach itself and that is about it. :) Kathleen Jenni Ford wrote: > Kathleen: > > I am one of the fairly new list members.
