Welcome to the blind-computing e-mail list.
Here are the list guidelines, and group information.
***********
List Guidelines:
The following are guidelines set forth by the list owner, and every member
is expected to abide by them.
I have a zero tolerance for those who won't follow simple rules, so those
who fail to conduct themselves in a manner conforming to the guidelines
will be removed from the list.
There will be no exceptions.
1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurrs will not be tolerated.
2. Flaming of individuals, or groups or organizations of any kind will not
be tolerated.
3. Advertising is not permitted.
4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted.
5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted.
If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of
this list, send it to the list owner and, if appropriate, it will be posted
to the list.
6. Absolutely no off-topic posts!
Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of
Blind advocacy groups,
Products for the blind that are not computer-related items,
Transportation for the blind,
and Job oppourtunities, or concerns.
If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate, contact the
list owner for approval before posting.
7. On-topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of
Screen readers and magnifiers,
Computer perriferals (scanners, printers, braille devices etc.),
Computer operation,
Computer maintenance,
and Computer building.
8. Subject lines should be clear and to-the-ppoint!
Subject lines such as "I Need help" or "Does anyone know" are not
descriptive and might be ignored by the very person who might otherwise have
answered your query.
9. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed!
If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic, initiate a new
conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic.
10. Absolutely no auto responders are to be used on this list!
Those who use auto responders for vacations, and so forth, must make sure
that this list is not included.
The first auto-response sent to the list by anyone, will be their last!
11. Absolutely no message headers!
Noone wants to read an irrelevant message, before reading your post,
especially me!
If you want to plug your business, church, or whatever, do it somewhere
else, not on this list!
12. If you want to include contact imformation and a tag line at the bottom
of your messages, feel free to do so, but don't make another message out of
it.
13. Remember that there are people of different walks of life, origin, age
groups, and levels of computer experience on the list.
Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those
who are trying to become more proficient.
14. Not everyone speaks the same language so the use of a spell checker is
encouraged.
15. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being
run, do not post them to the list, contact the list owner or management
team.
16. Do not admonish a member for an improper post, let the management team
do their job.
Hopefully, everyone will benefit from this list, and it will allow all of us
to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get
thru this thing called life!
