Dear Andrew,

As not every one in the list would be interested in the course, in
the future, please send only a short notice to the mailing list
including:
1. Basic information
2. Who should be interested
3. Pointer to a website
4. But do avoid price information.
Thank you for your attention.

regards,

Andrew
