Eclair Cameras: List Posting Guidelines

[RT <cinesota@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,
I haven't posted in awhile.  Been moving around a bit and traveling, so 
I am catching on to this subject a little late.

I have visited this subject before and I have found that the Eclair Cams 
List has grown into an organic beast with a mind of it's own.  I can 
suggest some guidelines but it is up to the list members to apply them.  
So here goes:

If you are replying to a posting, please cut and paste only the portion 
of the posting that you are replying to.

Further, if you are starting a new thread or posting a new question 
please change the title of your post to reflect the subject of your 
posting (and remove the "RE:" from the subject title as well unless it 
is indeed a reply to a previous question or posting).

If you are posting an off topic subject, that is anything that doesn't 
pertain to Eclair motion picture cameras, please preface your email 
message with OT: and that will allow others to know it is a posting not 
related to Eclair cameras.

Finally, when I started the Eclair List two years ago (Jeez has it been 
two years already?) I envisioned it as a virtual meeting place to talk 
about Eclair cameras.  Using it as a vehicle to carry on a conversation 
with a single individual is fine up to a point, but please don't overdo 
it.   One sentence replies back and forth don't make for very good 
reading.  On the other hand don't feel that it's not okay to carry on a 
conversation with a single person.  Those types of conversations often 
elicit responses from other list members and can often lead to an 
interesting thread.  Use your best judgement.

The list archives is a resource unto itself and by using the above 
guidelines it makes it easier for someone to find info on a specific 
topic without wading through a bunch of un-related messages.  It also 
lessens repetitive posting of questions that have already been covered 
several times on the list (ie. "What's the difference between an English 
and French ACL magazine?").

I hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any questions or 
suggestions.  Happy posting.

Cheers,
Ray the List Mum
