The Scope of the list
There are no rules about what
to talk about except that I would ask that you please try and stay on topics that
will be of general interest to people living in Yokohama. For example you'll
probably get a better answer to computer hardware and software topics on the appropriate
USENET groups but people in Yokohama will probably be able to tell you where in
Yokohama to buy something.
Feel free to put some sort
of tag at the start of your Subject to help people get to figure out the
general topic of the mail. E.g.
[Announcement] XYZ meeting
will be held...
[Wanted] A new XYZ...
[Help] Where to buy a XYZ...
[Off Topic] What does this mean.....
Subjects not suitable
for this list include:
- Virus Warnings: these
are almost certainly hoaxes. Almost any mail which says "send this to all
your friends" is a junk mail designed to to waste peoples time.
- Frequent Commercial
adverts. A small advert in your signature is welcomed as is the occasional
(e.g. monthly) reminder about your business.
- Chain Letters, Make
Money or Pyramid Marketing schemes
Advertising the List
Please do advertise the existance
of this list to anyone living in Yokohama. The more people that join and post
messages the more useful it will become. Internet mailing lists are the prime
community building medium of Cyberspace and of the 21st Century. It's your list.
If you have a homepage do
make a link to this page using the banner at the top if you feel it is appropriate.
