<br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Welcome to the List!</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
Your request is quite legit.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">However, I ask you and others to read the rules (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/rules.php">
lowlands-l.net/rules.php</a>).</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">One of the rules is this:</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><div style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><i>Identify yourself</i><br> Anonymous postings are not permitted and
will be ignored if anonymous submissions keep being sent despite a
warning. Readers must be able to see who wrote a posting. Many people
use automatic "signatures;" they are great, as long as they are not
attached. (No attachments allowed!) Otherwise, your name must appear
either with your email address or at the end of your contribution. It
is all right to have your surname appear in one place and your given
name in another place within the same posting.<br></div><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">So whenever you see someone's name in square brackets it was added there by me as a gentle reminder. (I don't edit postings otherwise.)
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Best wishes,</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
