1.  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 .

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-graphics(at)hwg.org
Do NOT respond on the list!  That just makes the matter worse.

address that with the List Guide Manager at lg-manager(at)hwg.org .

to the list by sending your message to: hwg-graphics(at)hwg.org .
