Can you give us the email address for subscribing to the digest format? I
think there are 2 digests, so I'm thinking of the abbreviated one. But if
both digests have one, others might like to see both.
Thanks,
Sarah

Subject: Moderator's note for early may, please read
Hi all. Just to let you know, I've been extremely busy these last 7 or 8
days. So, I've gotten a bit behind on list management. For the most part
this list can manage itself, so that's a good thing. Below are just a few
reminders and suggestions on making this list an even more fun place to be
when you read your email.
0. List owner and moderator. Kara Quinn is the list owner and Raul
Gallegos, (that's me), is the moderator. You can reach the list owners and
moderators directly by writing an email to [email protected].
Note the plus instead of the traditional minus in the email address. You
can write me directly by using the format "first name at first name last
name dot com" Just read this message to see how to spell my name. please
be aware that any message sent to this list about this list from kara or
me is to be taken seriously. You will know if it's of a list nature if we
put moderator or owner in the subject line. However also know that both of
us are also list members and most of the time when we post messages it is
as list members just like yourselves. This means that we may have our own
opinions, and we may be wrong about what we post, just like you. I try to
put in a disclaimer if posting about a topic which I'm not totally sure of
that I hope someone will correct me on, and I have been corrected, and so
that is good.
1. New members. If you are a new list member please note that you are
automagically placed on moderation until I can determine that you are a
real person who is posting messages relevant to this list. If you are a
new member who signed up more than 2 weeks ago and you are still
moderated, it could mean that you are posting off topic messages, or that
you slipped through the cracks and I need to get on the ball and update
you. So, please write me off list and ask.
2. Other moderated members. If you are no longer a new member, but you are
moderated, it means that you were placed there by me for a number of
reasons. usually the more common reasons are for posting off topic
messages or for flaming or being rude to the list members. In cases like
this I write the person first to let them know if they will be placed on
moderation. I don't like having list members moderated because it
generates more work for me each day, which leads to number 3.
3. Moderation queue. I try to visit the list moderation queue once per day
at least. However real life and other commitments might keep me from doing
that 100% of the time. This means that if you are on moderated status for
reasons 1 or 2, your messages may not get to the list as quickly as you
like. So, the goal here is to not be on moderated status to begin with. if
I had zero members on moderated status that would be super and fantastic
and all those good adjectives.
4. Keep this list lively and positive. Please remember that this list has
well over 1400 members and that includes people from all places in the
world. Don't assume that only people from your own country are here.
Because of this there will be many different ways that people write or
express themselves. As long as these ways are not seen as flaming,
personally attacking others, or outright rude, then I would ask that you
show tolerance if a message comes through which isn't worded in the exact
way that you would word it yourself. If you have an issue with a list
member please write them privately, or ignore their messages.
5. VIPhone. Remember that this list is for the primary discussion of the
iPhone and its related family members. I.E. iPod Touch, iPad, and even
Apple TV. This also includes software used in the iPhone and its related
family members like iOS and the various apps, iTunes software for the Mac
or PC, and jailbreaking. Hardware things like the many accessories for all
the devices. I.E. Keyboards, cases, speakers, you name it. So, after all
that huge list of acceptable things, please don't post off topic messages
which don't include them. I.E. Your favorite dog guide school, how to burn
CDs using Winamp, how to setup your Windows or Mac, ETC.
6. Have fun. Even though there are guidelines for this list, let's all
remember to have fun, respect one another, and keep the list alive. it's
not about the number of messages are posted to the list, but about the
quality of the messages to the list. Whether that's 10, 1q00, or 1000 in a
given month, let's make each one of those messages count.
That's all, have fun.
