Now you are all back from your holidays and preparing for another year of
graft, I'd once again like to point out a few principles regarding use of
the mining-history list.
This is an academic based list for discussion of the history and archaeology
of mining on an international basis. Open and free discussion is encouraged
and we are aware that there is a wealth of knowledge on the subject outside
higher education; that is one reason the list was developed. However, some
list activity in the recent past has strayed from those principles;
including a would be member joining under a pseudonym and the odd request
for bits of carbide lamps perhaps better directed to one of the caving lists.
Please keep to the subject area, and contribute to open and free discussion.
Peter
