By being on both lists right now, will this mean duplicate messages? What is

the difference between digest and normal?

Tami, and others. Digest means you will receive ONE email from the listserv

daily...ONE! It will have all of the messages from that day on this digest

version instead of the seperate ones you are used to seeing. LESS MAIL! I

use it when we are away for a few days, at the hospital, conference, or just

wanting to have space for a while. We are pleased onelist has this little

advantage.

To Our New & Improved Listserve:

Hello to all who have switched over already. To make it more worthwhile for

others to join us quickly, let's start discussing something now. Any ideas

anyone? I'm looking forward to the possibilities.

Also, thanks to Dan and others who researched this change for all of our

benefit, but especially to Dan, since he continues to be the person who

gives so much of his time & effort for little if any tangible reward!

Welcome to dwarfismonelist

WELCOME TO THE DWARFISM LIST!

The Dwarfism List, started at the beginning of 1996, is read by more

than 600 people, and is a forum for questions, information,

inspirational messages, and -- yes -- jokes. It has replaced the

Usenet newsgroup alt.support.dwarfism as the primary forum for the

discussion of issues related to dwarfism. From 1996 through July 1999,

it was hosted for free through the generosity of the University of

California at San Diego (UCSD). In August 1999 we moved to ONElist,

an advertiser-supported commercial service with better software

controls for both the moderator and users.

To post your own message to the list, send mail to

dwarfismonelist. Please be specific in filling out the subject

line. A lot of messages are posted to the list, and carefully

filled-out subject lines can save people a lot of time when sorting

through their e-mail. Also, when replying to a message, please don't

quote the entire previous message, especially if it's a long one;

just quote relevant portions.

RULES OF THE ROAD

The Dwarfism List is an open, unmoderated forum. However, we do have

a few rules aimed at keeping the list enjoyable and useful for

everyone. You will be expected to follow these rules. Repeated and

willful violations will result in the violator's being deleted from

the list.

1. Grossly abusive messages will not be tolerated. People who post

messages clearly intended to harass members of our community will be

deleted from the list of subscribers. Further problems will result in

a formal complaint to the abuser's Internet provider.

2. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. There is absolutely no need

for 600 people to be forced to watch while two or three people have it

out with each other. Civil disagreements are fine, but flame wars must

be taken off the list and fought out in private.

3. Messages of a purely political or religious nature, with no

relationship to dwarfism or even to broader disability issues, are not

allowed. The Dwarfism List is a high-volume list. There are many

places on the Internet to discuss politics and religion. Please have

enough respect for fellow list members to refrain from doing it here.

4. Each member of the list is limited to no more than three posts a

day. If you think you need more than that, what you really need is a

chat room. Casey Hubelbank maintains some excellent chat resources at

http://pages.prodigy.net/ritzycat/irc.htm. Please make use of them.

The sole exception to this rule is me, your friendly neighborhood list

administrator. But I promise never to post more than three messages a

day unless those extra messages are related to the maintenance of this

list.

5. The Dwarfism List has been set up so that responses to a post go to

the list, not to the individual who made the post. If you wish to

respond personally, please go ahead, but don't " cc " the list. In other

words, send your messages to the list or to an individual, not both.

6. Each member of this list is expected to know how to unsubscribe and

subscribe on her or his own. You should never send an " unsubscribe "

request to dwarfismonelist. All 600 of us don't need to know that

you're trying to leave. Simply log in on the ONElist Web site and

follow the instructions on how to unsubscribe. It is extremely easy.

7. You must never, ever, under any circumstances post a warning about

a computer virus. The vast majority of these warnings are chain-letter

hoaxes that claim your computer will get an e-mail virus if you simply

open and read an e-mail. That is impossible. It is certainly possible

to get a virus by opening and executing an e-mail attachment, but you

should never do such a thing unless you know who sent it and what it

is. Thus, warnings are unnecessary. Important: If your e-mail program

is set to open e-mail attachments automatically TURN THAT FEATURE OFF!

8. Speaking of chain mail, don't.

The Dwarfism List is not an official part of LPA. However, many list

members belong to LPA.

Have fun!
