It would help to know what I'mtalkking about...*smile*Anyway, "What is the policy for advertizing on the list?" My observationsfrom various lists is that if the ad is for something on topic it isgenerally ok, but if it is off topic it is spam. An exception might be avery brief ad in the signature of an email.What other lists, repositories or other resources relating to programming orIDE's are available?Just list the other lists we know about, plus inthane's grab bag, jamal'ssite, blindprogramming.com, and whatever other links are appropriate. Does anyone disagree with any of this? It seems to me on one of the nfblists once someposted an email containing a business ad in his signature line and the moderator flamed about it and kicked him off the list. Latelythings are much more lenient. I guess the policy depends on the list.

What subjects are acceptable on this list? 2. How much can these be stretched (can you ask how to use an IDE, for example)? 3. What happens if you post an off-topic message? Is this okay if you mark the message with an indicator, such as "OT"? 4. What is the cross-posting policy? 5. If I reply to sender, what happens? 6. What is the average list traffic? That is all I have for now.

I think the recent list problems havemainly been due to how people have been using the list rather than duetolimitations of the FreeLists technology, which seems to workwell forthe JAWSScripts, Program-L, and other lists. I agree that is dumbforlist server software to get confused by the word "subscribe" in the subject, and other such anomalies, but think they have generally beenrare andnot interfered with the general functioning of the list. I thinkthatchanging to Yahoo or Google sounds like it would create as many problems as it solves. I suggest we stay with FreeLists but try tomanage thehuman interface better, including more regular intervention bythemoderator, less flaming, and perhaps monthly reminders aboutlistcommands, and a FAQ if we can find a volunteer to write one.Jamal__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4251 (20090716) __________The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4251 (20090716) __________The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4251 (20090716) __________The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
