Hello All,
If there is any confusion about the purpose of this list, here is
the stated purpose from mailbase:
"Arch-theory list is for international discussions, reviews, and exchanges
of information in archaeological theory and associated fields of interest.
All contributions are welcomed, in all languages."
Additionally, here are two points of etiquette that list members are
expected to adhere to in their contributions to the list (also from mailbase)
######################################
Aims:
These are practical guidelines, rather than absolute rules, and they are
meant to help you use Mailbase lists in a way which will most benefit
yourself and other people on the list.
Two really important guidelines:
Not all these guidelines work for all situations, so use your discretion and
remember:
1.When you send a message to a list it will be read by a variety of
people, on a variety of computers. Please be aware of this and be
considerate towards your fellow list members.
2.When you send a message, you are doing it either for the benefit of the
other members of the list, or to gain benefit from the other members of the
list. Please bear this in mind.
######################################
Here is the mailbase web site concerning guidelines for members of mailbase
lists:
http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/docs/guidelines.html
One guideline seemingly pertinent to this discussion is:
#####################################
2.2 Write relevant messages
Please make sure that your messages are relevant to the list. They should
also be brief and to the point.
If you send a reply to the list, your reply should contribute something to
the discussion. Don't send messages saying "I agree" or "right on" to the
whole list. You should also restrain yourself from sending messages purely
to point out other people's errors in typing or spelling.
If you ask a question on the list, or send a questionnaire, you should send
a summary of the responses to the list. This should be a true summary, not a
concatenation of all the messages.
