Information from TECHWR-L Listowner

[ejray -at- OKWAY -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU]

     Hi Gang!

     I thought I would pass this update along, in addition
     to repeating this info posting.

     As of Feb 2, 1994, the TECHWR-L list is 333 days old
     and we have 711 subscribers. A total of about 5045
     messages have been posted, which works out to 15
     messages per day.

     Not too bad, I'd say. ;-)

     Hi all,
     Here is the slightly revised informational posting. Those of
     you who sent suggestions will notice that they haven't yet
     been incorporated. I am working on it, but haven't had time
     yet. Again, if anyone wants to add to, modify, or
     rewrite this note, please do so and send me a copy. I
     will be posting this or something similiar to this on a
     regular basis (read: whenever I get around to it).

     The first question is new, everything else is a repeat of
     the last information posting.

     Q: Who is responsible for the information posted to the
        list, and who controls what gets posted?
     A: The listowner and Oklahoma State University are not
        responsible for anything posted to the list. The list is public
        and unmoderated, so people who choose to post claim full
        responsibility for anything posted under their respective
        addresses and userids. The POSTMASTER@<whatever the address is>
        is the only other person with any control over individual
        postings from any userid.

     Q: How do I subscribe to TECHWR-L?
     A: Send a message to:
        LISTSERV -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU

        Leave the subject line blank, and include on the
        first line of the message:
        SUB TECHWR-L first_name last_name

        For example:
        SUB TECHWR-L Eric Ray

     Q: How do I unsubscribe?
     A: Send a message to:
        LISTSERV -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU

        Leave the subject line blank, and include on the
        first line of the message:
        UNSUB TECHWR-L

     Q: What are digests and how do I get them?
     A: Digests are daily mailings which include all
        postings to TECHWR-L from the last 24 hours. These
        are unedited, and unmoderated--they just give you
        one big message instead of many little ones.
        To get digests (assuming you are a subscriber),
        send a message to:
        LISTSERV -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU

        Leave the subject line blank, and include on the
        first line of the message:
        SET TECHWR-L DIGEST

     Q: I got digests, and now I want reqular mail. What do
        I do?
     A: To change from digests back to regular mail,
        send a message to:
        LISTSERV -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU

        Leave the subject line blank, and include on the
        first line of the message:
        SET TECHWR-L MAIL

     Q; Who is the listowner and how do I contact him?
     A: Eric Ray is the owner (that's me), and my address is
        EJRAY -at- OKWAY -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU -dot-  My telephone number is
        405/744-6301

     Q: What is STC and how do I contact them?
     A: STC is the Society for Technical Communication, and is
        main professional organization for technical
        and scientific communicators. Any questions, comments
        or suggestions for STC should go to:

        Society for Technical Communication
        901 N. Stuart Street, Suite 904
        Arlington VA 22203-1854
        703/522-4114

     Q: How do STC and TECHWR-L relate?
     A: They don't officially. Many STC members are on the list,
        but most aren't. Many list subscribers are STC members,
        but some aren't.

     Q: Where do I send additions, corrections, and comments about
        this posting?
     A: To Eric, the listowner, of course. EJRAY -at- OKWAY -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU
