ADMIN: Details of subject prefixes...(SHIP, FF, etc)

Hi everyone,

It's great to see so many people using the new subject prefixes.  It warms the cockles of my heart to know that our ADMIN messages aren't ignored.  I'd give you all a hug, but my arms can't stretch round 800+ people...

[From the audience: "Geddon with it!!!!"]

Okay.  For the newbies and, as a reminder to those who missed our previous announcements on this, we are now using the following prefixes:

SHIP: For shipping posts - anything on 'relationshipping' between the HP characters. 

FF: For fanfic posts - anything relating to HP fanfiction, including plugs.

OT: 'Off Topic':  Obviously, this one isn't specific to this group.  Threads often veer from HP discussions into OT territory, so it's important to indicate this.  It's also worth considering taking your discussion off-list if there are only a few of you involved.  Watch this space for more info on OT discussions...

ADMIN: This one is for Moderator messages.  Please read and heed these.  They will appear through every crevice, crack and orifice, so it's no use humming 'Tiptoe Through The Tulips' to try to block them out.  They will reach you, even at: "A Listmember, The Chair, In-Front-of-the-Computer-on-the-Table, The Room".  Of course, if you skipped *this* message, you won't have read this.  My cunning plan is foiled!  

**[HEADLIGHTS FLASHING] IMPORTANT**

It would be helpful we could all use the same style for these prefixes (as above, in caps, before the message title).  This helps enormously if you are someone on 'individual e-mail' setting who wants to (a) sort messages into groups, (b) extract messages into different folders (as some e-mail software allows).

Thanks gang!
