    Heya all,
    
    I am writing to restate two requirements for the lists.
    
    
    1. UPPER CASE INFORMERCIAL TYPE POSTINGS WILL NOT GET APPROVED!!!
    
    
    Picture yourself wading through job postings first thing in the morning.
    Now assume you're still taking in your first coffee. Now add to that
    picture dozens of messages that are written like a bad infomercials where
    all high points are in upper (screaming) case. These messages read as if
    the audience is likely to be just slightly retarded and needs the extra
    emphasis. This is my morning and reading this stuff eventually starts to
    get very annoying. Trust me on this, if the candidate needs the upper case
    to digest the points you are trying to get across then you likely don't
    want them fixing your lawnmower - let alone have them foisted onto your
    trusting clients or co-workers. I understand that at times it is required
    but please use your judgment.
    
    2. X-Posting
    
    Please do not do it. When other lists chat with our lists often the
    mailers start to choke, people get littered with bounces and life in
    general becomes less pleasant. So please, do not do it unless you
    absolutely have to and if you do please mail me as an aside so I just do
    not delete it out of hand.
