Subject: [ADMIN] Various things..
Just so people can spot them, I'm going to put [ADMIN] in the subject of
the message when I'm wearing my adminstrator's hat. I'd be obliged if
you'd all
read them.
1) The list went down again yesterday for a while. The wonders of
technology eh?
2) THE NEW SUBSCRIPTION MESSAGE
This is the message that will be sent out to all new subscribers, once
we
get it sorted out. I'm posting it here so I can be sure everyone has the
most
recent version.

Welcome to the Full Thurst / Ground Zero Games mailing list at
FTGZG-L@BOLTON.AC.UK. We hope you find the list interesting and useful
but
there are a few things you need to know..
1) DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE.
At some point in the future you may want to leave the list or change the
way it works for you. The details for doing so are in this mail mesage.
2) The List Administrator
The current e-mail address of the list adminstrator is JW4@bolton.ac.uk.
Please refer to him (rather than the list) if you have problems.
3) List Options
To set options on how you receive email from the list, you send a
message
with JUST the relevant command to the address
FTGZG-L-REQUEST@BOLTON.AC.UK
HELP Emails you a message with a list of commands.
QUERY tells you what options you have set
REVIEW sends you a list of subscribers (see 'set
conceal')
SET NOMAIL leaves you on the list but stops it sending you mail.
Revert to 'normal' service with SET MAIL
SET CONCEAL Stops your name from showing up on the list sent
out to
people using the 'review' command. Set yourself to being visible
with the SET NOCONCEAL command. NOTE: The adminstrator always sees
the full list.
SET NOREPRO Sets the list not to send you copies of messages you
send
to the list. Reversible with SET REPRO.
4) Unsubscribing
At some point you may wish to leave the list. To do this you send the
command SIGNOFF to the address above.
**NOTE**. If you send the signoff message from a different email
address than the one you subscribed from, it won't work. You have to
unsubscribe from the same email address. This can go wrong if you
have
moved addresses and are having mail forwarded for you or if the mail
system you are on sets up an 'alias' name for you. To find out if
this
is the problem, send a 'review' command to the address above and
search
for your name. The only email address you can unsubscribe from is
the
one listed.
5) Legalese
Important note on use of the FTGZG-L@BOLTON.AC.UK Mailing List
This list is run primarily for the benefit of players of Ground Zero
Games
products and the products of other companies connected to them. Several
members of the staff of Ground Zero Games subscribe to this mailing list
and therefore any material posted on this list is likely to be seen by
them. Any material posted to this list remains the copyright of those
posting it, however list members should be aware that while the exact
text
of the mail message is copyright, the ideas expressed within them are
not
so unless an identifiable portion of the text is reprinted in a GZG
product, legal action for copyright breach is unlikely to succeed.
If you find this situation intolerable, follow the unsubscription
details
and remove yourself from this list as soon as possible.
_________________________________________
Thank you for reading this message and once gain to remind you the
administrator's email address is JW4@BOLTON.AC.UK and all options
setting
or unsubscribing should be sent to FTGZG-L-REQUEST@BOLTON.AC.UK, not the
list address.
