especially if they could be taken as responses to what has been said in the
forum. If you do not make this distinction it could happen that your private

in a while subscribers tell me that they receive List mail but that their
posting submissions keep being rejected. In most cases, when I investigate this
it turns out that a given subscriber has List mail forwarded from his or her
subscribed e-mail address to another e-mail address, and, forgetting this, they
try to send posting submissions from the address at which they read the mail.
The list server rejects mail from that address because it is not subscribed.
Also, some people try to unsubscribe or change their subscription
configurations from addresses that are not subscribed. The simple solution is
to address the list server only from the subscribed e-mail address.</p><font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">

overly large mastheads. Instead, the masthead now contains the URL of the page

you want to order books, CDs, DVDs, or pretty much anything else from Amazon (in the US even groceries!)
you might as well do so via our Lowlands-L shops (so far in Canada,
Germany, France, Japan,
UK and USA - (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/rummage/shops.php" target="_blank">http://lowlands-l.net/rummage/shops.php</a>))
which have constantly changing
Lowlands-related selections. We (i.e. Lowlands-L) get a small percentage
of Amazon sales if you enter Amazon through these portals. Believe me:
it hardly pays a tiny fraction of the money I pay out of my own pocket
to bringing Lowlands-L to you, and I am not even counting the hours of
work I put into it.<br>

<b>Edit quotes:</b> If you hit the "reply" button and simply write
your response before or after an unedited, complete quoted LL-L issue, please
do not complain to me that I have removed the quoted text in the published
version. It is proper email behavior to quote only the portions that are
relevant to your response.</p><font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">

<b>Give credit:</b> Let us know who the authors of quoted text portions are. If
you just hit the "reply" button, it will automatically give "Lowlands-L"
as the author. That simply will not do. You must be more specific, and you owe
authors the courtesy of crediting them by name.</p><font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">

do no longer need to sign off and on again if your email address changes. It
suffices if you send me (<a href="mailto:sassisch@yahoo.com" target="_blank">sassisch@yahoo.com</a>)
a message giving us the old address and the new address. If you don't remember
under which address you were first subscribed, it will suffice if you give us
only the new address and your name.</p><font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">

need to stop LL-L mail arriving for a given length of time, please write
to us (<a href="mailto:lowlands.list@gmail.com" target="_blank">lowlands.list@gmail.com</a>)
to let us know the date you want mail to be stopped and the date you want
mail to be resumed. As some of our members can attest, this has been
working really well. It certainly beats the old, crude method of signing
off and on again.</li><li class="MsoNormal">Once in a while people find themselves
unsubscribed without notice. Some of them immediately suspect the worst:
that I have "booted them out" for some infraction or other. (I
know this for sure only about those that contact me. But it happens again
and again and involves even the nicest, best-behaved people.) Please do
not jump to this conclusion unless you have received prior reprimands and
warnings (which happen very rarely, have not happened at all for well over
two years). If you find yourself disconnected from Lowlands-L, the reason
is most likely that the automated server has unsubscribed your address
because of repeated "bouncing," i.e., because your mail servers
keep informing the list server that you cannot be reached or is filled
above quota. Most of the time this is due to temporary disconnection.</li><li class="MsoNormal">Sometimes the reason is that a subscriber's junk
mail filter (or "spam" filter) has not been "told" to
exempt Lowlands-L mail, which is why our mailings do not arrive in your
in-boxes.</li><li class="MsoNormal">So, if Lowlands-L mail stops coming, please
first check your "spam" filters and adjust them if necessary,
and only contact me about the problem if all of the above fails.</li><li class="MsoNormal">Should you indeed be disconnected, please write
to me or resubmit an application. I'll be more than happy to bring you
swiftly back to the fold.</li></ul><font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
