Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

Welcome to the start of another academic year!   Here are some items of
general information and instruction regarding LINGUIST List to get you
under way.

I.  NO ATTACHMENTS
Periodically, we like to take the opportunity to remind our readers that we
never (no, not ever) distribute attachments to the List.  Attachments are
commonly used by spammers to gain entry to your system and wreak havoc. 
Unfortunately, LINGUIST List accounts are frequently targeted by spammers
to achieve their goal of widespread distribution for their 'work', and
spammers mask their messages by making it appear as though they were sent
by LINGUIST.   Two ways you can tell that the email you have received was
NOT sent to you by LINGUIST List are:

1) An attachment is present
2) The email is signed 'Virtually', or 'Virtually Yours'

If you receive an email in which either of these conditions is present, you
can be sure it did not originate here - delete it immediately.  For the
same reason, LINGUIST cannot accept email attachments either.  

II.  SUBSCRIPTION
If you received this message in your email inbox, you are already
subscribed.  Do you know someone else who might like to subscribe?  Would
you prefer to read your LINGUIST List issues via RSS feed rather than
having them delivered to your email account?  Perhaps you wish you could
limit the issues delivered to those covering only a particular LINGUIST
List Topic?
