Subject: Discussion List Rules
** Please visit our website: http://www.africanassociation.org **
Dear AAM List Serve Users,
I just wanted to remind all users of the basic rules
of conduct that govern the use of the AAM list serve.
The rules were drafted when AAM started the discussion
list.
Please read the set of rules bellow carefully because
any violation of either one of them would result in
the removal of the violator (after a fruitless
reminder) from the discussion list.
AFRICAN ASSOCIATION OF MADISON, INC
AAM DISCUSSION NETWORK
OFFICIAL RULES OF THE AAM DISCUSSION NETWORK
AAM DISCUSSION NETWORK is a private mail distribution
list, sponsored by the African Association of Madison,
Inc., with special interest in the affairs of Africans
in Madison in particular, and Africa in general. This
network is made up of Africans and friends of Africa
in Madison and surrounding areas who have access to
email. The list of subscribers is mailed periodically
to all subscribers.
Postmasters:
Salifou Issoufou ([log in to unmask])
Anita Makuluni ([log in to unmask])
Adelaide Fiske ([log in to unmask])
Any special administrative concerns and all questions
should be addressed to one of the friendly POST
MASTERS.
To post a message to all subscribers, address your
mail to
[log in to unmask]
Contributions sent to the AAM List are automatically
archived. The
archives of the AAM List is located at
http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/aam.html on the
World Wide Web.
AAM List is a free forum for discussion, debate, and
the sharing and
formulation of ideas that concern Africans in Madison
and Africa. Postings can cover any topic of members'
choice, including politics, economics, culture,
education, history, geography, religion, architecture,
medicine, development, etc. Postings may include
news, opinions, observations, humor, announcements, or
requests. If it has
anything to do with Africa or Africans, it can be
discussed.
AAM DISCUSSION NETWORK has no political, religious, or
economic
affiliation, and draws its strength from the diversity
of opinions
expressed by its members, thus reflecting the full
make-up of Africans and Friends of Africa in Madison.
SUBSCRIBING AND UNSUBSCRIBING
First time subscribers should send an email message to
one of the
POSTMASTERS requesting to be subscribed to the AAM
List. The system will not allow you to subscribe
yourself or anyone else. Only the Post Masters can
sign you on.
For those who are already subscribed, if at any time
you want to
unsubscribe from the AAM List, send an email message
to
[log in to unmask] with the following
message:
"SIGNOFF AAM"
in the body of the message. Do not write anything in
the subject area.
To re-activate your subscription send a message to one
of the POST MASTERS.
RULES
The only rules that members should follow are those of
simple etiquette and otherwise.
1. Messages posted to the AAM DISCUSSION NETWORK
can be shared with any member of the AAM List, and
indeed, the whole world, on or off the internet.
2. Private messages, whether from members or
non-members, should only be posted to AAM List with
the author's permission.
3. Personal attacks on individual members should
be kept personal; send a private message to that
individual and deal with it off the AAM List.
4. Do not post personal messages (specifically
for one particular
individual) to the network. You may use the AAM List
for the purpose of
initiating private contact.
5. AAM DISCUSSION NETWORK is for free debate; do
not try to force your opinions on others.
6. Anybody who does not adhere to these
guidelines will get ONE
"unfriendly" reminder from the POST MASTERS.
Subsequent violation will
result in the removal of the offender from the list.
7. If your mailbox gets full or your mail starts
to bounce due to network problems, you are
automatically removed from the network since there is
no way to inform you of the situation. You will be
reinstated if you send mail to the postmaster after
you rectify your problem.
8. Postings containing only one-liners such as
"Well said", "I couldn't agree with you more", etc.
are NOT allowed on AAM List.
9. You can cut and paste a maximum of 1 (One)
paragraph of previously posted text on AAM List UNLESS
you are doing an itemized reply, in which case you are

please have THEM send mail to one of the POST MASTERS.
They will then be given instructions on how to
proceed.
11. Subscription activation and deactivation
messages are NOT allowed on AAM DISCUSSION NETWORK.
In other words, if you want to subscribe or
unsubscribe yourself or some one else from the AAM
List, DO NOT send the message to
[log in to unmask], the network's address.
When in doubt on anything, contact anyone of the
friendly Post Masters.
