4. Avoid Off-Topic Posts From: David Wojtowicz <dtw@xxx.xxx> Date: Sat, 06 Apr 2002 19:52:45 -0500 Subject: [cpamu] Concerns about the CPAMU listserv....   Dear Macintosh-Friends,   .. . please keep in mind this listserv has been established for "Macintosh" related topics. Therefore, I would urge that we refrain from off topic, non related to Macintosh computer postings. It is not that these matters of life are not important; they are. But they may not be shared by others who subscribe to the CPAMU for the sole main purpose of gathering information of Macintosh related value only.   I have seen these types of postings unintentionally become divisive on other Listservs. As such, please... lets keep our postings limited to Macintosh related items only. .. .

From: "Benjamin Rinehart" <appletag@xxx> Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2004 13:59:17 -0000 Subject: [cpamu] State of the CPAMUnion   Greetings!   <snip> I hope you all feel free to use this list to post any questions or discoveries. Here's some quick pointers:   1) Compose the message to cpamu@yahoogroups.com 2) Keep it about the Mac.   That's it. Have fun with the list. It usually isn't too noisy. However, you can have all messages identified with the [CPAMU] subject filtered to a folder. If you don't know how to do this, let the list know. It might be a good subject for a meeting.   This message largely serves two Mac User Groups, DAPI {Danville Apple PI} in Danville and SMUG {Susquehanna Mac Users Group} in Williamsport. If the subject of your message is specifically for one of these, please add [DAPI] or [SMUG] to the message. That said, please tell Mac using friends about the list. CPAMU stands for Central PA Macintosh Users and as such everyone is welcome. <snip>   Enjoy!   Ben Rinehart Moderator-CPAMU   (the above excerpted from List Owner Rine Rinhart's cpamu Message 794)

5. Keeping Spammers Out From: "Benjamin Rinehart" <appletag@xxx> Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2004 17:47:01 -0000 Subject: [cpamu] New Policies for CPAMU   Anticipating more SPAM to the list I have changed two aspects of management:   1: Membership is upon approval. I approve all memberships before they're allowed to post.   2: New members are moderated. This means I approve all posts from new members.   This should keep idiots from spamming. I also suspect a couple people will fall off the list. I think there's a couple "leaches" hanging on waiting to SPAM us.   If this causes problems for anyone, please let me know!
