I think that this issue has never been commented on until now, after the rules have been in use for years. Here's some partial background information. The obvious reason for requesting signatures is to identify who is making what comments. Way back when I was first asked to help with this list, I helped edit the rules, but I don't recall discussing whether to put a signature on the rules, and it is so long ago that I don't remember the details of who did what. I suspect that it never occurred to anybody that there might be a question regarding who sent the rules. They are from the list owner / moderators, via an automatic feature in Yahoo. An e-mail address for the owner is provided by Yahoo on the group's front page. The list rules have changed only a little from what I was given when I started helping moderate the list. From time to time, people write suggesting that the rules are too loose or too tight. As many of you have probably experienced, it is very difficult to write rules that satisfy everybody. The list originator set up rules that were designed for the "large middle ground". The desire is for "short and easy" general rules rather than complicated very specific rules. > How many of us really do that? Cheers.....Ed L. 'twould be good for all of us to do. There obviously are some people that I know by e-mail address, first name, or first name and initial, but most people I don't know without a full name. This is all the more true for newcomers. To make it easy, many e-mail programs have an option to "always send signature". Mine is set this way. If a note from me shows up without my signature, blame my computer! 8<) To REPLY to the list, use REPLY ALL; to reply to the sender, use REPLY.
