NYCkayaker One more time... List Rules

[Jeremy Speer]

Folks,

Several list subscribers are not following the rules. These are rules  
of the list processor, not the message content rules.

Addressing:

When sending to the NYCKayaker list you cannot include the list  
address in a range of addresses... for example you can't send a  
message to a bunch of friends and then CC the list or BCC the list.  
Also, you can't send to the list and then CC or BCC a bunch of  
friends. If you want to post to the list you must send to the list  
and the list alone.

You must send messages to the list from a subscribed address. If you  
have lots of addresses, or you just added a gmail account or you  
can't remember which address is subscribed just go ahead and  
subscribe them all. You'll get multiple copies of each message, but  
at least you will be able to send a reply no matter where you are or  
what computer you're using.

These are all rules set up to combat spam.

Attachments:

In a word: Don't. The maximum message size is very small, any  
attached images will go over that limit. Rather than include an  
attachment to a news story or photos send the URL to the list and  
explain why others might be interested. If the document you want to  
share is not online send a message to the list asking if anybody  
would be interested in "x" and then send the file directly to those  
who reply.

This rule is set up to cut down on bandwidth costs for the list host  
and to address copyright issues.

Questions? Comments? All y'all know where to find me :-)
