ABOUT THIS MAILING LIST:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The IWA-HWG's Critique List Charter covers:

This list is to be used by members to ask for and give critiques on
fellow members pages. if you want to say: "please see my page on
http://foo.foo.com/index.html", and get a real response, this is the
list! We ask that those who are posting requests of sites that are
commercial in nature or can be considered to be R-rated or worse please
state clearly and unequivocally that their site is such. This is to help
prevent mistaken citing for advertising on the list. It also is a
courtesy to those who check out your site.


Information about this list can be found at:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOW TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THE LIST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each list has a different feel and different general community rules.
Please spend some time listening in ("lurking") before posting in
order to get a feel for the way in which conversations take place.

You will also want to be sure to review the following /before/ you post:

The Actionable Rules:
<http://www.hwg.org/lists/rules.html>

Netiquette Guidelines:
<http://www.hwg.org/lists/netiquette.html>

Once subscribed, to send a message to the hwg-critique list, send
an email to:

<hwg-critique(at)hwg.org>


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHAT TO CHECK IF YOUR POSTS ARE NOT GOING TO THE LIST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First troubleshoot the following items:

*Did you subscribe to the Critique List and receive confirmation
the subscription was processed?

*Are you sending your post to: <hwg-critique(at)hwg.org>?

*Are you sending using the email address you originally used to
subscribe to the list?

*Does the email you subscribed with have an autoresponder
attached to it or include HTML formatting or attachments?

It is not uncommon for members to change email addresses and
inadvertently forget that the "new" address was not the one they used
when they subscribed to the list.  The new address would not be
recognized by the mail server and therefore your messages would not
be forwarded to the list.


*AUTORESPONDERS and ISP problems that create bounced
messages may cause the list's filters to automatically unsubscribe
you from the list.  If after checking all the above possibilities out
you still are experiencing difficulties, email the List Guides for
assistance.  <hwg-critique-help(at)hwg.org>


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ABOUT DIGEST MODE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A "digest" version of the list is available. By subscribing to the
digest version of the hwg-critique mailing list, you receive a group of
posts in one email message. That way, as an example, instead of getting
20 messages a day from the list, you would get 1 or 2 which contain
all of the posts from that day. You can still participate in the
hwg-critique list like a regular subscriber, you just receive your
messages in a more compact manner.

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

For information about UNsubscribing to the Digest version, please
see:  <http://www.hwg.org/lists/hwg-critique/index.html#5>


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHAT ARE LIST GUIDES?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The List Guide Program was created to assist members on the
IWA-HWG Mailing Lists to get the most from the lists. We perform
the task of helping the lists receive and maintain quality, and
valuable, valid content. In addition, List Guides provide assistance to
all who request it and help enforce the IWA-HWG policies for the mailing
lists.   Information on the List Guide program can be found @:

<http://www.hwg.org/lists/intro.html>

We do not moderate the lists.  We are here, always in the
background, to assist you with your questions and concerns.  We
do contact members, via private email, when we are concerned about
a post that may have infringed on the Actionable Rules located @:

<http://www.hwg.org/lists/rules.html>

Please understand we will always err on the side off caution when it
comes to these 10 rules and appreciate your understanding in this
regard.  We do not _generally_  enforce Netiquette Guidelines.

If you have a problem with what someone else has posted to the list,
then you may freely respond to them in private email.  List Guides will
address any violations of the IWA-HWG's Mailing List's Actionable
Rules via private email with the member(s) involved.  Refusal to abide
by the Actionable rules can result in a member being removed from the
mailing list permanently or for a period of time depending on the nature
of the disturbance the member has caused.

The List Guide program is authorized and endorsed by the IWA-HTML
Writers Guild.  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

*REMEMBER* If you need any assistance in connection with the IWA/HWG
Critique mailing list, please do not hesitate to contact the List Guides
at:  <hwg-critique-help(at)hwg.org>  we will be happy to help in any way
we can.
