Folks, these are the rules of the list. Apologies to those

necessary.
Thanks,
 -dave phillips, list owner.
============

 Biosph-l is a listserv-distributed list. Please observe the following:

 1) Requests to subscribe or unsubscribe to the list or get files from the list
     must be sent to LISTSERV@UBVM (internet: listserv@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu). Do
     N O T mail requests of this type  to the list itself, and do not mail them
     to the list owner.

 2) You  are responsible  for unsubscribing  yourself from  the list.  The only
     exceptions occur when the node at which you subscribed has disappeared. To
     unsubscribe, mail to listserv@ubvm the following message: SIGNOFF biosph-l

 3)  Postings  which  you  wish  to  make to  the  list  should  be  mailed  to
     BIOSPH-L@UBVM (internet: biosph-l@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu).  Your posting must
     be SIGNED in header  or body of message, and should  comply with the rules
     adopted by the list participants dated April 1990 (below).

 4) The BIOSPH-L list is set up with a default Reply-to as the person who posts
     a particular message. If you hit your "reply" button, your posting will go
     only to that person. To reply to a  message so that your reply goes to all
     list subscribers, you must mail to BIOSPH-L@UBVM.

 5)  The amount  of acknowledgement  you wish  to receive  from this  list upon
     completion  of a  mailing operation  can  be changed  by means  of a  "SET
     BIOSPH-L  option"  command,  where  "option" may  be  either  "ACK"  (mail
     acknowledgement), "MSGACK" (interactive messages only) or "NOACK".

 6)  More  information on  LISTSERV  commands  can  be  found in  the  "General
     Introduction guide", which you can  retrieve by sending an "INFO GENINTRO"
     command to LISTSERV@UBVM.

 7)  Write  to  the  list  owner,  davep@acsu.buffalo.edu  with  any  questions
     concerning list setup or listserv  functioning before using list bandwidth
     for postings on these metatopics.

     NOTE: Contributions sent to this  list are automatically archived. You can
     obtain  a  list of  the  available  archive  files  by sending  an  "INDEX
     BIOSPH-L" command to  LISTSERV@UBVM. These files can then  be retrieved by
     means of a  "GET BIOSPH-L filetype" command, or using  the database search
     facilities  of  LISTSERV.  Send  an   "INFO  DATABASE"  command  for  more
     information on the latter.

                   BIOSPH-L RULES FOR PARTICIPANTS

         The following rules were adopted by  a majority vote of the individual
         subscribers  to BIOSPH-L  discussion list  voting by  April 15,  1990.
         These rules apply to all persons posting.

        1) All posts  must contain the real  name of the sender,  either in the
            header or the body of the message.

        2) Posts must  be directed to more than one  person; messages which are
            clearly  of value  to  only  one list  participant  should be  sent
            privately and should  not consume net resources by  being posted to
            all subscribers;

        3) No  individual may  post more  than twice per  *topic* in  a 24-hour
            period; times will be gauged by the sender's message header and not
            the time received by other readers (since this will vary);

        4) Personal attacks and insults are prohibited;

        5) The  list owner may request  discussants to take a  particular topic
            private if he/she receives private  complaints from 5 or more other
            subscribed list  participants. The names of  the complainants shall
            be posted by the list owner as part of his/her request.

        6) Actions  by the list  owner on the above  points may be  appealed by
            subscribed  participants to  a  panel  of subscribed  participants,
            whose names follow: a) Tracy Logan (logant@lafvax.lafayette.edu) b)
            Danny Choricki (dac@cunyvms1.bitnet)
