1.  Mailing List Tips of the Week

I know that this list is pretty well behaved as a general rule, but we have 
been having numerous problems on other list with flaming.  Flaming will be 
treated like an Actionable Rule violation for the time being, so it would 
be a good idea to stop and think about what you are about to send before 
hitting the "Send" button.  In fact, it might not be a bad time to
go back to the Actionable Rules page 
at:  http://www.hwg.org/lists/rules.html
and take a look around, refreshing yourself with all the rules.  As I said 
before, this list is generally well behaved, and we can keep it that way if 
we all take the time to review before sending.

Thanks for your cooperation on this matter.

2.  General List Guide Information

The Guides follow the Netiquette as standard procedure in reviewing
posts to the lists, so before you submit your message be sure you have
reviewed the correct guidelines.  The Mailing List Policy can
be found at:  http://www.hwg.org/lists/cover.html .

The List Guides for hwg-servers are:
Rich Bowen <rbowen(at)rcbowen.com>
John Erjavec V <lgs(at)jevonline.com>

If you have a problem with what someone else has posted to the list,
then you may freely respond to them in private email or notify the
List Guides for the list.  In this case it would be:  lg-servers(at)hwg.org
Do NOT respond on the list!  That just makes the matter worse.

If you have a problem with an action taken by a List Guide you may
address that with the List Guide Manager at lg-manager(at)hwg.org .
