List Folks:
Several things of merit need attention by us all from time to time:
a) This is a Rollei List, not a general
photography list. I don't mind an occasional
wandering off-topic, but I would ask that we keep
such diversions to a bare minimum. If it doesn't
involve the care and feeding of Rollei cameras, I
would suggest that the topic be taken up
elsewhere. And, PLEASE! Every off-topic comment
should be so marked in the SUBJECT block by
adding, at the beginning: OFF-TOPIC so the
unwary can be alerted and read or delete as they wish.
b) PLEASE change the subject block when a thread
grows away from its original subject
matter. That is, a thread might begin, honestly
enough, marked with a subject heading of OLD
STANDARD ROLLEIFLEX LENSES but the topic might
shift, over days, to coverage of modern Xenotar
lens design. When this happens, please have the
courtesy to your fellow list members to change
the subject block to: MODERN XENOTAR LENS DESIGN or somesuch.
c) When those taking the digest respond, PLEASE reset the subject block!
d) Please be careful to trim the quoted text in
the message to which you are replying. That is,
please block-and-cut or whatever your software
requires to reduce the quoted text to the bare
minimum necessary to maintain continuity. Most
of you are already doing this quite nicely, but
it would be best if we all were quite conscientious in doing so!
e) Should you be out of the loop for a few days,
pray, do NOT use an auto-response message of any
sort, or I will simply unsubscribe you! Such
messages will be replayed, ad nauseam, to the
entire list. Please unsubscribe if you must for the period you will be gone.
f) Please send your messages in plain-text
only. HTML and similar codings are NOT looked on
with favor by the undersigned!
g) Thankfully, we are a polite and communal lot,
so I will only say that we have never experienced
the sort of flaming agonies which occasionally
afflict other lists. I would like to see this
collegial spirit of good-will and honest debate
continue. To that end, please remember that
postings to the Rollei List are in the nature of
conversations between good friends, and these
ought not be repeated outside the List without
the explicit permission of the original
poster. If you disagree with something someone
has said, then this should be taken up directly
with that person either on-List or by direct off-List contact.
h) Searchable archives are available at:
//www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
http://digistar.com/rollei (suffix
'.com', previously '.net' : update your files)
http://www.digistar.com/rollei is an alias of the previous
and the search engine does work:
http://digistar.com/rollei/search.html
The actual List Archives are not directly
searchable. These can be accessed as follows:
To find out exactly what is available, send the
following command to
<majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (NOTE: This
command goes to MAJORDOMO and NOT to the entire List!)
index rollei-digest
You will then receive an index of all of the
Digests available, going back to May, 1996. To
receive a specific Digest, you then send the
following message to MAJORDOMO at the same address:
get rollei-digest v01/v01.n001
The Rollei Digest is divided into volumes, while
each Digest has a name which includes the volume
number, so it is a tad confusing. To get Volume
10, Digest 19, the command would be:
get rollei-digest v10/v10.n19
Again, these Digests are not searchable.
