Last update June 18, 1995
This is the Introduction for the Women in Hockey mailing
list. This is a list for women who play ice, roller or street hockey, and
the people involved with them in some way.
For a listing of other mailing lists and services available on
plaidworks.com, send email to "email@hidden"
This list is managed by Laurie Sefton (email@hidden), with an
assist from Chuq Von Rospach (email@hidden). Chuq handles the
mail server, FTP partition and the World Wide Web materials
To suggest additions, changes, corrections or anything else, send mail
to chuqui@plaidworks or email@hidden. Mail server problems
should be sent to email@hidden.
EVERYONE should read this document at least once. Users should also
read the charter and etiquette document, available by sending mail to
"email@hidden". You WILL be held responsible for acting like
a mature human being and following the rules and guidelines set out in
these documents.
Ignorance of the rules is not considered an excuse. Please work with us
to help make this place a fun list to be on.
This document is posted to the mailing list twice a month, on the 1st
and 15th.

1) How to find the Home Page and Archives
============
This document is:
The World Wide Web home page for this mailing list is:
If you do not have World Wide Web access, you can access these documents
using anonymous ftp:
All messages to the list are archived in the "message-archives" folder.
If you have ONLY e-mail access, you can use the mail server to get copies of
these files. You can get info on accessing them by sending the message
"get listproc intro.to.listproc" to "email@hidden".
Please note that because so few people use this feature, we don't have
always have the e-mail gateway up to date with the rest of the system,
but we will keep access to the most important files working.
============
2) Posting to the List
============
This list is run on an automated mail server, using the ListProc Software.
Do NOT under any circumstances post administrative commands or requests for
server help to the public list.
For help on using listproc, send mail to "email@hidden".
Submissions should be sent to:
email@hidden
See the charters below to find out which list is the appropriate one
for your posting. Also see the Introduction and Etiquette document
(available from "email@hidden") for general posting rules and
conventions.
You must be a subscriber to the list to post to it.
============
3) Charter: What's Acceptable, What's Not
============
Everyone is requested to read the rules and charter at least once and to
please abide by them. Failure to cooperate can lead to having your posting
privileges revoked, or to find yourself removed from the list completely.
General rules and conventions for proper behavior on our mailing lists are
available from "email@hidden". You should read that document as
well to be familiar with what we consider acceptable behavior. Please
remember that ignorance is no excuse -- it's ignorance.
In general, though, it boils down to this: We expect EVERYONE on our mailing
lists to act like mature, intelligent adults. If you can't do that, then go
away. We won't tolerate abusive, immature behavior here.
We consider these mailing lists to be virtual sports bars. You can come in,
grab a beer, sit down, and talk with people who share your interests. Anyone
who chooses to act like an "angry drunk" or get obnoxious will be thrown
out. This doesn't seem like a difficult concept to us, but you'd be amazed
how much time we spend arguing with people about it. (hint: you lose the
argument. But if you wonder why we sometimes sound cranky...)
Please note: the List Moms have the final and ONLY say as to what is
and isn't appropriate content. If you are requested to close out a
discussion, take it to e-mail, or shift it to one of the other mailing
lists, please comply. You can discuss the situation with us, and we're
willing to listen, but ultimately, nobody else gets a vote.
+++ Acceptable uses:
Anything having to do with women playing ice, street, or roller hockey,
or who are somehow involved in these sports. People interested in
getting involved with the sports and/or playing are also welcome. This
list is not limited to women only, but to anyone involved in women's hockey.
We are excluding field hockey from the list, since it's different enough
from ice/roller hockey to deserve it's own lists, and because the audiences
are distinct enough that we feel it's a reasonable distinction. We're open
for discussion on this.
Note: We will take a VERY hard stand against brain-dead gender flames. This
is not a discussion list where people can discuss WHETHER women ought to
play hockey. The reality is they DO, and they should. People who attempt to
act like Male Chauvinist Pigs will find their tenure on the list very short,
and not very satisfying.
============
4) Mail List Commands
============
All server commands are sent to the address:
email@hidden
Do not send server commands to the actual list! That is considered very
rude to the user base.
You can put more than one command in an e-mail message. Please note
that if your e-mail messages contain signatures or footer lines,
listproc will attempt to read them as commands and return an error to
you. This can be ignored if you also get the confirmation back on the
earlier commands. you SHOULD get a confirmation e-mail letter (or error
warning) for EVERY command you send to listproc. If you didn't,
something went wrong. Try it again, and if it still doesn't work,
contact the admin address for help.
The following commands are the most common ones. These are used in the
body of the e-mail message, not the Subject line. Leave the Subject
line blank. Use your real name, not your e-mail address.
To get on the list:
SUBSCRIBE women-in-hockey Chuq Von Rospach
To cancel your subscription:
UNSUBSCRIBE women-in-hockey
To turn on DIGEST mode:
SET women-in-hockey MAIL DIGEST
To turn off DIGEST mode:

(yes, it's amazingly intuitive. I didn't write it)

use this for info on the e-mail archive
service if you have no ftp.]
