[clug] Mailing list terms of use

[Antti.Roppola at brs.gov.au]

Actually, you are quite correct. Though I was *looking* for it last
night, it completely missed my eye. Maybe it should be in bold caps
like the "NOT FOR SAMBA QUESTIONS" immediately above it? (which I did see)

How about an enumerated list with "TERMS OF USE" in bold at the top, and
also email it to new subscribers when they confirm their email address?

Cheers,

Antti

I don't know what it said when you looked, but 
http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/linux now says (among other things):

"Occasional advertisements of items for sale are permitted for active list
members. If you do not participate on the list, you are not allowed to
post advertisements."

Which I think is pretty clear ...

Lets not even think about the Spam Act ... or the fact that I (as "one of
the two main contact people for CLUG") received two copies of this mail
(including the Word Document attachment) less than 1 minute before it was
posted to the list.
