Ignore my last message

[Roy Tennant]

This seems like an appropriate opportunity to remind everyone of the 
Web4Lib posting policy, especially since there have been other 
infractions of late. This policy is of course available on the Web4Lib 
Web site at http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Web4Lib/ where you will find 
links to the CERT, CIAC, Internet Hoaxes, and Virus Hoaxes sites.

Posting Policy

The following policy governs all postings to the Web4Lib list. Offenders 
will be warned once and removed from the list after
further infractions:

    1.All messages must relate, however slightly, to the general topic of 
World Wide Web systems and libraries or library staff. The list owner 
interprets this rather broadly, but messages that are clearly off-topic 
not be tolerated. 
    2.Advertisements are not appropriate. However, a simple statement 
that offers a way to follow-up for more information on a service or 
product is tolerated if it accompanies a substantive message discussing 
a subject appropriate to the list. 
    3.Virus warnings (not bug reports), are strongly discouraged, and 
ONLY official CERT or CIAC advisories are acceptable. In addition, 
before forwarding any virus information you may wish to check Internet 
Hoaxes and Virus Hoaxes for hoax information and how to spot hoaxes. 
    4.Personal attacks such as name calling and personal insults will not 
be tolerated. Comments that are intended only to enrage the recipient 
rather than contribute to thoughtful discussion are prohibited. 
    5.All postings must be free of copyright restrictions that limit 
distribution. For example, posting a significant amount of a copyrighted 
work verbatim requires the permission of the copyright holder. To verify 
that such permission was obtained, all postings of this nature must 
include a statement that this is the case.

As always, thank you for your cooperation. The over 3,300 subscribers 
will appreciate it.
