[cad-linux] Welcome

We've had a few new members join up lately so i thought i'd say hello to 
everyone and do my semiregular FAQ

Welcome Aboard!

as you already know this list is for CAD on Linux.
user questions, project/relaese announcements, and lurking are all fair game.
if you do have a question, feel free to ask, thats how this works.  being told 
to RTFM is very rare here.  it's a good and very laid back bunch.

if your interested in browsing the archives they can be found here:
http://www.freelists.org/archives/cad-linux/
they are searchable.  if you have an application your having trouble running 
then it can be an invaluable resouce.  please use it.

if you need to change email addresses just resubscribe with the new one:
mailto:cad-linux-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=subscribe
but please don't forget to remove/unsubscribe the old one.
mailto:cad-linux-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe

Due to the number of spammers trying to subscribe/mail to our mailing list i 
have had to start verifying that all new members are real people and confirm 
which list they are trying to subscribe to.  Please don't take offense with 
this.  I'm trying to protect the members of the list and their addresses.  
This started with the Development list but it did not take long for them to 
find my other lists as well.  There was once a day when i knew everyone on 
the list, but we have grown quite a bit since then.  If i ask for 
confirmation of who you are while changing addresses, please bear with me.

the Freelists service strips the second of eamil addresses so that the senders 
address pfrostie@xxxxxxxxx will be changed to pfrostie@xxxxxxxxx in the 
archives.  on some email clients the reply to addresses is included in the 
body of the email.  please do the same and stip the second half of this and 
replace it with xx's or ##'s because freelists does not edit email addresses 
in the body of the email.

if you're interested in the development of CAD we have a second list on 
freelists.org called cad-linux-dev.  
http://www.freelists.org/webpage/cad-linux-dev
 it tends to have a higher level of traffic and recently a few of it's members 
have set up an IRC.  see the Dec/2003 developer archives 
(http://www.freelists.org/archives/cad-linux-dev/) for details.



enjoy the list.

i'm considering making this into a regularly post faq.  if anyone has 
sugestions or questions please send them(on or off list).
thank you
