Hi gang. Just a reminder to not post off topic items. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me off-list.
We've had a spate of posts recently which shouldn't have gone to the list. Mainly, messages intended only for individuals should not go to the whole list, like responses to requests for a particular piece of equipment. I don't mean to stifle conversation, though. For sure, respond to technical posts and pertinent questions to the whole list, because that helps everyone and fosters community. Anyway, here are the rules about off-topic postings. If in doubt about a posting you are considering, feel free to check in with me first. 1. Don't post jokes, thanks, apologies, agreements, news items, chit-chat, events, politics, marketing, virus info, leads, jobs, items for sale, or anything else that is off-topic. 2. Don't respond on-list to others' off topic posts. 3. Don't post items that are available for sale, either from you or from others. 3a. From time to time people post items that they need but are having problems locating (like an older model PV module to replace a broken one), but these requests should be responded to off-list. And these requests should state within them, something like: "if you have one, please contact me off list." 4. If you have a message that is intended for individuals who are on the list, like "thanks" or "yes, I have one of those things you are looking for," don't send it to the whole list -- just send it to the individuals. 5. Do not post administrative inquiries, but rather send them to me off-list. 6. And finally, a reminder to never post leads or job openings of any kind on the list. Thank-you. _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: [email protected] Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
