ANZUA LIST GUIDELINESThis message is to give members advice on how to use this newsgroup. This message is regularly reviewed and sent to the list regularly to ensure it is seen by new members of the list and as a reminder to present members. If you have any suggestions on how to improve this notice then send them to anzua-owner@smartgroups.com, which at the moment is Jock Mackenzie. REASON FOR GROUPanzua@smartgroups.com is a discussion group for Unitarians and those interested in Unitarianism. ANZUA stands for Australian and New Zealand Association which is the sponsoring organisation for this list. see www.anzua.org Its special focus is Antipodean Unitarianism and international liberal religion, but it is not strictly limited to those topics. "OFF-TOPIC" TOPICSTopics to be avoided on anzua@smartgroups.com are: * Heated and un-friendly theological debates If you think someone is flagrantly ignoring these guidelines, then consider sending a message to the group manager, email: anzua-owner@smartgroups.com rather than letting rip at them on the list. The list owner can bar or ban anyone who continues to flout these guidelines. PREFERRED STYLEThe preferred style of communication on anzua@smartgroups.com is conversational rather than academic. Substantial postings of an academic nature should instead be uploaded as text files. WHAT TO POSTIf you wrote it and it is of general interest to people who are interested in the subject, post it. WHAT NOT TO POST If your message doesn't clearly and directly relate to the subject, don't post it. Don't post "me, too!" or "I don't know!" ie. messages that don't add to the discussion. It just annoys the hell out of people. Don't use the list to post personal messages to a single subscriber. Don't post personal attacks. Make negative remarks about what people said (if you must), but not about people themselves. Do not point out grammatical, spelling, or usage errors. If something cute, interesting, or funny is making the rounds, don't post it. We've already seen it. ATTACHMENTSNo attachments will be accepted. If you have a files you want to share go to click here and follow the directions. Let us know it's there and why you have uploaded it. That allows people to decide for themselves whether to look at it, thereby avoiding clogged in-boxes and stroppy antivirus programs. HOW TO JOINTo join the group, send a blank email to: anzua-subscribe@smartgroups.com.
INTRODUCE YOURSELVESWe prefer that all new subscribers send an short autobiography to the list members, introducing yourself, your background, your current theological position (if any), and your fields of interest.
