All messages sent through this list are archived and available to the general public. The archive is available online at http://www.usask.ca/lists/alt-photo-process . There is only one basic rule to using this mailing list. You must treat other members of this list with respect. This list's success is dependent upon the willingness of its members to share information. If people aren't treated with respect they are not likely to share their knowledge and experience. I also realize that people will not always agree on everything. People are free to disagree, but this must be done is a respectful manner. Flaming and name calling will not be tolerated. If anyone flames, swears at, or treats any other member disrespectfully, I will remove them from the list. No profanity is to be used on the list. Its rude vulgar and unneccessary but more important - I want the list and its archive to be available at public libraries, schools etc. Many publicly funded instituions are required to censor any web site that contains profanity. Insuring that profanity is not used on this list will contribute to the list and its archive being widely available. Attachments should not be sent through the list. The rules are 1) treat each other with respect. 2) don't send unsubscribe messages to the list. 3) don't send attachments to the list.
