1.  Mailing List Tip of the Week
=====================================================

At the top of each job posting will be the email reply to address for that
particular opportunity.  Please remember that by just hitting your reply
button you will send your inquiry/information to the HWG-Jobs List Guide
Team, not to the party responsible for the opportunity.


2.  What are List Guides?
=====================================================

The List Guide Program was created to assist members on the HWG 
Mailing Lists to get the most from the lists. We perform the task of helping 
the lists get and keep quality, valuable, valid content. In addition, List
Guides provide assistance to all who request it and help enforce the HWG 
policies for the mailing lists.  Information on the List Guide program can be 
found at <http://www.hwg.org/lists/intro.html> .

We are here, always in the background, to assist you with your questions 
and concerns.  The List Guide program is authorized and endorsed by the 
HTML Writers Guild Governing Board. If you have a problem with an action 
taken by a List Guide you may address that with their manager(s) by 
sending mail to lg-manager(at)hwg.org .


3.  Who are the HWG-Jobs List Guides?
======================================================

4.  How do I subscribe and unsubscribe?
=====================================================

When sending out a subscribe or unsubscribe message, subject
information is NOT needed.  Do NOT include your E-Mail address in 
the subscribe message.  If you have any problems with subscribing 
or unsubscribing, please send E-Mail to owner-hwg-jobs(at)hwg.org 
or to the List Guides (lg-jobs(at)hwg.org)

To subscribe from the HWG Jobs List
you need to send a message to:

hwg-jobs-request(at)hwg.org
In the body of the message type: subscribe

To UNsubscribe from the HWG Jobs List
you need to send a message to:

hwg-jobs-request(at)hwg.org

4.  Can I subscribe to the list without getting so much E-Mail?
======================================================

A "digest" version of the list is available. By subscribing to the digest
version of the hwg-jobs mailing list, you receive a group of posts 
in one E-Mail message. That way, instead of getting individual messages 
every day from the list, you would get 1 or 2 which contain all of the posts 
from that day/week. 

For information about subscribing to the Digest version, please see:
<http://www.hwg.org/lists/hwg-jobs/index.html#2>

For information about UNsubscribing to the Digest version, please see:

5.  How do I send a message to the list?
=====================================================

The HWG-Jobs List is a one-way moderated List.  Only posts by the List 
Guide Team will be sent out to this List.  All employment, help wanted,
contract or volunteer opportunities must be sent to the List Guide Team
for review and approval /prior/ to posting.
