[Town Meeting] List posting guidelines

[Rich Carreiro]

Hello.

With a new TM about to start, I wanted to quickly review the
list posting guidelines:

(1) This list is a moderated announce/distribution list.  It is NOT
    for discussion/debate.  I find the best way to think of it
    is as a way to electronically distribute the sorts of things
    that are put on everyone's chairs, as well as a way to get
    late-breaking TM-related news to TM participants.

(2) Unlike many other lists, attachments ARE allowed (since a
    main point of the list is document distribution).

(3) If the document is hosted on a website, it is preferred that
    you post a URL to the document rather then sending the document
    itself to the list.

(4) There are no requirements re: document format, but it is
    strongly suggested that documents sent to the list be
    sent in PDF format (though spreadsheets should additionally
    sent in their native format), so that your fellow members without
    MSWord, etc. will be able to read them.  But that's only
    a suggestion -- you're free to send in whatever format 
    you like.
