Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs
Subject: Posting and archives
From: "Steve" <alienrelics@...>
Date: 2003-08-03
The recent questions about searching archives, and downloading message
archives should serve as a reminder:
Please keep it on topic (yes, I consider CNC for mill/drill of PCBs on
topic)
Please keep the subject line informative and relevant, changing where
necessary. "Please help" is not a good subject line, "Homemade drill
table" is a good subject line.
Trim your replies. Leave enough of the original message so anyone
reading in the future will know what "yes, 3/16th" means. But please
don't post one line "yes, thanks" with 3 paragraphs of quote. The list
archive is already at 24% capacity and I've seen a -lot- of one and
two line replies with several pages of quoted text.
Please post in English, the language of the list.
Eventually the message archives are going to reach capacity, and Yahoo
will start deleting the earliest messages. Or Yahoo may decide to
allow us less storage. I don't want to see all those good early
messages start disappearing. I -may- go through and delete some of the
redundant/non-useful messages from earlier. We certainly don't need
all the monthly reminders stored in the archives. :')
I try not to be a control freak moderator. A few on the Mad_Scientist
think I am, but too bad 'cause kiddie porn spam and "I am the
anti-Christ" posts get someone banned so fast my keyboard melts.
I'm so glad I started this list!
Steve, your friendly neighborhood moderator
