ADMIN: List Re-opening

[KathyK]

No: HPFGUIDX 172220

Greetings from Hexquarters! The the list has now reopened to
posting.

Before you post, if you haven't looked at our posting rules lately,
we strongly recommend that you take a refresher course, as we *will*
be enforcing them! The rules are here:

http://www.hpfgu.org.uk/PostingRules25Mar07.html

And for those who are truly in a mad rush to post, here's a handy
Posting Rules Cheat Sheet:

1. Observe Posting Limits. We are expecting record numbers of posts
in the first few days following DH release. We are asking members
to try to limit their posts to five per day. Don't be a list hog.
Excessive posting will be considered a violation of list rules, and
your post may be deleted.

2. Combining. If you're responding to multiple posts on the same
topic, please combine them. If you combine effectively, you won't
have a problem with the posting limits.

3. Make a Canon Point. Please don't post unless you have a canon
point to add to the discussion (i.e., one that has not already been
stated, and please don't post just to reiterate your point). You can
use Yahoo's search function, which is adequate to find out whether
something has been posted in the last few days. We are a diverse
group, and we're not going to agree on everything.

4. One Liners. The HPFGU standard is for members to submit substantive
posts; therefore, one-liners are strongly discouraged. Off-topic and
"me too" one-liners are not allowed, just as lengthier off-topic and
"me too" posts are not allowed.

5. Snipping and Attribution. Please snip long quotes down to the
minimum amount necessary so a reader will understand what you're
talking about. Make sure you credit quotes to the right poster.

6. No Top-Posting.  Remember to put your comments *after* quoted material.

7. Use the right list.  Please send introductory or off-topic posts to 
OTChatter at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-OTChatter.  Send 
posts involving the HP movies to Movie at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-Movie.  Finally, send one-liners 
and 'me too!' posts to the individual(s) concerned off-list.

8. Check your Email account.  It is very important you check the email
account associated with your HPFGU membership, even when you are on
"webview only."  If the elves do not receive replies to emails we send
to list members, we will assume the messages aren't being seen and
reserve the right to return listees to moderated status or to revoke
posting privileges when necessary.  Should you find yourself in either
situation, please answer this last ditch attempt to get your attention.


Happy Posting!
