ADMIN: Off-list Messages

No: HPFGUIDX 81093

Midweek at HPFGU, and all seemed calm on the surface. For a few list 
members, however, the waters have not been calm, lately . . . 

"BANG!"

With a loud crack, a small but fiesty elf appears, wearing a purple 
tea towel. She unrolls an official-looking scroll, clears her 
throat, and begins to read:

"It has recently come to our attention that someone is targeting 
some members of our community with abusive off-list messages. If you 
have received an offlist message which is patently offensive, please 
contact the list admin team at hpforgrownups-owner@ yahoogroups.com. 
It would also be helpful if copies of any such messages could be 
forwarded to us, so we can continue to investigate the situation. If 
you suspect that a message may contain a virus, please write to us, 
and we will send you a protected address where you can forward it 
for us to examine without fear of contamination.

"Remember, if at any time you are concerned with the tone or content 
of a message related to this group - onlist or offlist - feel free 
to contact the list admin team or your own personal elf. This list 
is for all of us to enjoy. We want it to remain a place where 
listmembers can discuss HP in an open, friendly spirit, and we hope 
that all our members will do their part to maintain this pleasant 
atmosphere.

"We are here to help you with any problems, questions or concerns.

"Sincerely,

"Hebby Elf, 

"Newly-recruited elf-in-training for the list admin team"

She nods her head, hoping that she is leaving peace and reassurance 
in her wake, and with another loud "CRACK", the elf disapparates 
away again.
