TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

'There is no suggestion that members should feel obliged to open and/or
reply to all posts'.

Courtesy is a given; members should not feel obliged to post messages of
thanks for individual critiques received

A suggested ratio of posts is one new work requesting comments to
three/four crits offered

Other than for 'first generation' crits - i.e. direct responses to posted
work, please consider if comments should go to the list or backchannel to
individuals

Please do not Cc work to persons outside the list (for reasons of
copyright)

Please do not post the list ID on any commercial or public access system
(to prevent spam)

Please do not post attachments (to guard against viruses)

Please post as plain/ascii text only (to guard against html worms)

CONTENT

Please do not post any material which is deliberately offensive.

When dealing with themes that some may consider unsuitable please consider
prefacing the poem with a note to that effect.

When responding to the work of others please be aware that email differs
from conversation in that it is uninflected. Consequently, tone is more
easily mistaken.
