This is a copy of the reminder message that is sent out to the list once a month.  It outlines the group's rules and posting policy.  Please make sure you are familiar with it.  Thanks

Merry Meet,

This is a Monthly reminder message.  Please take the time to read this message to avoid breaking the "rules" of the list

Spells, Rituals, Recipes etc.  (NOT personal details or messages)posted to this list will appear on the homepage located at http://spell.obsidianstar.net

If you do not wish for your information to appear there please say so.  If your post does not contain this message, it will be assumed that you have granted permission for the information to be uploaded to the website. Please also be aware that people often forward posts from mailing list to mailing list, if you do not wish for your post to be copied by a list member and sent to another list, please indicate this at the top or bottom of the e-mail.  It will be assumed that you give permission for others to forward any of your posts unless you request otherwise.  (This is useful for other lists - not just this one)

It is considered to be a breech of copyright to reproduce any material written by an author, if you do not have permission to do so.  This includes items such as spells from a book, or forwarded e-mails from another list.  If you wish to post information that was not written by you, please obtain permission to use the information *BEFORE* posting it to the list.  If your posts do not contain an author name, it will be assumed that the posts were written by you.

This is a list for exchanging spells and other information, discussions are valued, but any offensive posts or "Flaming" will result in the sender being moderated, (which means all posts must be approved by the moderator before they are sent to the list).

Please remember that this list comes as a digest for many people, so the  "Hello... is there anyone online?"  type message become irrelevant, and single line replies can be annoying, lines such as: "yeah...I liked it too"

Please remember to SNIP/DELETE any unimportant parts of the e-mails you are replying to.

Please be careful not to reply to the whole digest - (it accidentally happens from time to time).  If you click "reply" to a digest, remember to delete the parts of the digest you are not replying to.

Due to Virus risks, this list does not accept attachments.  If you have a file you wish to attach to your e-mail, please upload it to the A-Spell-or-two section of yahoogroups and let us know in the e-mail that there is a file there. Attachments sent to the list will be stripped - so there is no point sending them.

If you want to advertise a service, site, event, other list etc. please e-mail the moderator ([email protected]) first to obtain permission.  If you do not do this first you may be moderated for a short time.  If you do it again, you may be banned.

DO NOT send Petitions or chain-letters to the list, if you want to have people sign them, send an e-mail asking people to e-mail you for it off the list.

Please check at hoax sites such as www.snopes.com and virus check sites such as www.macafee.com before posting warnings about viruses and Bonsai Kittens etc.  These are rarely actually real, so checking first saves a lot of time and people's bandwidth.

Sorry for the long rant :)

If you have any questions, please e-mail me at [email protected]

Blessed be
Obsidian
