Other moderators will be added as necessary. The chief role of the moderators is to edit out superfluous messages. These messages may belong somewhere else, or in the judgment of the moderators they do not aid the scholarly debate. The moderator will not alter the meaning of a message, but will, if necessary, add name and e-address and modify the subject line of a post. Moderators will solicit postings, assist and screen potential subscribers, commission reviewers, post announcements from publishers and conferences, consolidate postings, and screen postings for appropriateness.
Messages can be short questions or long documents.
After reading a message from H-AmRel, you may use the reply command in your mail system. Please do NOT send binary files or unencoded Macintosh files. There are no dues or fees of any kind. Subscribers only need an e-mail adress, which is provided to faculty and students by campus computer centers. The consultants there, or departmental colleagues can explain how to send an email message via Bitnet or Internet.
