<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> The Listowners are happy to announce that we now have 2700 subscribers from 38 countries. As part of this announcement, we would like to remind everyone of some of the features and rules of the List, and few of the problems that have occurred recently. 1. Our primary WWW site, http://rdz.acor.org/lists/celiac/index.html, is experiencing power problems that result in various error codes when you attempt to access the information. They have plans to correct the problem, so please bear with us. In the meantime, if you have problems accessing our WWW site your best bet is to simply wait and try again a few hours later, as the problems are generally intermittent. 2. All new subscribers are sent several files when they subscribe. Their purpose is to give everyone an understanding of what is available at the WWW, in our logfiles, and the reference files. Please use this as a starting place to obtain answers before posting questions to the List. If you need additional information, please state in your post that you have done a logfile/reference file review. Then ask the question based upon this background of knowledge. 3. All requests for product information (food, medicine, etc.) must include a location. Ingredients are different across borders and not everyone is from the USA. 4. For those who obtain their mail at work: Please set your subscription to nomail before leaving on trips. The "away from the office, please contact..." message is just junk mail for all the other subscribers. To correct this, one of the Listowners must turn your mail off. 5. New information at the WWW site is mentioned in the section labeled NEW. This is a good way to see what has been recently updated. Some examples are: recipe updates, posts by our experts, new editions of newsletters, etc. For those without WWW access, you can request the filelist. This shows each file with its associated date of last update. To obtain a copy, send a message to [log in to unmask] containing the following line: INDEX CELIAC For an understand of what is available in each file, ask for the file description file. Send a message to the above address containing the following line: GET CELIAC FILEDESC For the Listowners, -- Michael Jones ([log in to unmask]) Orlando, FL USA Visit the Celiac WEB site at: http://rdz.acor.org/lists/celiac
