About sust-mar	English (USA)
Sustainable Maritimes (sust-mar) is a moderated email list for issues of environment and sustainability in Maritime Canada. Everyone is welcome to join sust-mar. Subscribers can send news to and ask questions on the list. Subscribers receive an average of one email per day. Messages are queued in priority. There are more than 550 subscribers. Please be patient so that everyone has a chance to contribute. We ask that subscribers submit messages in plain text format, without attachments. Sust-mar is independent and non-partisan. The messages on sust-mar are contributed by the subscribers. Paul Falvo and Peter Watson are the volunteer moderators and caretakers. SUST-MAR POSTING RULES: The first three rules below are mandatory for getting your message accepted. The others will ensure your message gets prioritized and sent out promptly. **SUBMIT MESSAGES to sust-mar@list.web.net ONLY** All other sust-mar addresses are directed to the moderator's email, not the sust-mar list. We wont submit messages for you. **SUBMIT MESSAGES ONLY FROM THE EMAIL YOU SUBSCRIBED FROM** Messages submitted from any unsubscribed email address will be bounced by the server. All letters/digits in address must be identical to those in subscribed address for the message to be accepted. If your message bounces, it's ALMOST ALWAYS because you've changed your email address. **NO ATTACHMENTS PLEASE** Sust-mar is not configured to send out attachments. Please submit all messages in TEXT FORMAT ONLY. USE DESCRIPTIVE SUBJECT LINES AND ACCURATE LOCATIONS. Subjects like "Message to submit" or "Please post to list" give readers no idea what the message is about, and people probably wont read it. LOCAL NEWS TAKES PRIORITY. We prioritize events, announcements, and news from or pertaining to Atlantic Canada specifically. CONSOLIDATE MESSAGES IF YOU CAN. If you have more than one news item or event to announce, we strongly encourage consolidating everything into one message. We approve on average one message per day. This can increase in high volume times and decrease in low volume times. But we cant guarantee approving more than one message per person per month. SUBMIT EARLIER RATHER THAN LATER. There is often a message queue. Submitting at least a week (preferably two weeks) before an event is recommended to guarantee getting your message out in time. WHAT YOU SEND IN EQUALS WHAT GETS SENT OUT. We are unable to edit any messages that get submitted to sust-mar, so what you send us is exactly how it goes out to subscribers. Please edit out any lists of private email addresses, personal comments to anyone, slander etc. For further explanation on these points please go to: http://list.web.net/archives/sust-mar/2010-January/002032.html To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the sust-mar Archives.
