A few notes relative to the new list. 1. Services except for transmitting and receiving messages will be few until we can try and test each one on the majordomo system. So do not expect to be able to get a list of subscribers divided by call areas very soon. As well, the digest option may be delayed. Reason: these features were developed at Lehigh using LISTPROC 7 and 8 over a period of time from another list--the QRP-L group. So we never experienced the development and testing time. Digest is a different matter and perhaps that can come sooner. 2. The web site will undergo a change in directions for the mail list in the near future. 3. If you subscribe via a remote address (for example, using aqn arrl.net address, it will have to be approved by me, and I check the list for these once per day. so do not panic if there is a delay between subscribing and getting mail via the arrl.net address. 4. The code of conduct has not changed. The BoD does not care how objectionable someone's comments might be--replies to the list directed at an individual are never in order. If objectionable comments occur, tell me, and the situation will be evaluated on behalf of 10-10. However, remember that replies directed at an individual but sent to the list are as objectionable as the original message to which one is replying. And the chorus of "amens" and their equivalent is equally objectional in terms of the code of conduct. The tentenlist is for the exchange of information/Q&A/etc. Courtesy and mutual respect are always in order. Let's end the donut test (and any other such tests) of how far the rules or my patience will go. I was specifically requested to remain at this post by many people, most of whom even said "please." (One said, "How dare you. . ..") If you want a new webmaster/listmonitor, please simply direct a message to the BoD or the President of 10-10. To the best of my knowledge, the only donuts relevant to 10-10 and 10 meters are powdered iron and ferrite toroidal coil forms, and they are general fatal if swallowed. They are neither krispy nor dunkable. -73- LB, W4RNL
