PLEASE *SAVE* THIS MESSAGE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE ON TWEETERS LISTPROCESSOR
COMMANDS

To see more about tweeters point your World Wide Web browser to:
http://weber.u.washington.edu/~dvictor/

To subscribe send the following message text to:
listproc at u.washington.edu

sub tweeters John Doe

where you replace John Doe with Your Name. Do not enter your email
address. The listprocessor will read where the message is coming from to
obtain your email address.

To unsubscribe:

uns tweeters [Unsubscribes or removes you from the list.
Do *not* enter your name as it will
cause the command to fail]

To post messages to tweeters send them to:

tweeters at u.washington.edu

SIGNATURE BLOCK:
Please *SIGN* your messages within the text of the message giving your
NAME, GEOGRAPHIC location, and EMAIL ADDRESS. Several email programs
strip the headers so that one can not tell where the message is coming
from. Also, it is interesting to see the geographic areas from which
messages are posted. Your emailer may have a signature feature you could
use or perhaps you could import a signature file at the end of your
message.

Examples:

Dan Victor, Seattle, WA <dvictor at u.washington.edu>

or perhaps:

Dan Victor
Seattle, WA
dvictor at u.washington.edu


AUTOMATIC REMOVAL:
The Listprocessor now automatically removes subscribers if messages
bounce back to it. Should your provider be down for weekend repair this
could happen to you. Another cause could be a change in how your email
address appears. In either case, if you find you are no longer receiving
tweeters mail, please resubscribe.


Here are some ListProcessor commands. Send them to:

>>> listproc at u.washington.edu
