Greetings,
This is just a periodic reminder that if you wish, you can
subscribe to the daily coral-list digest, or the weekly digest, instead of
the standard coral-list receive-when-posted circulation. You can put two
commands in a single message to majordomo at coral.aoml.noaa.gov :
subscribe coral-list-daily
unsubscribe coral-list
if you wish to be added to the daily digest, or
subscribe coral-list-digest
unsubscribe coral-list
if you wish to be added to the weekly digest.
I am also attaching here an excerpt from the Welcome Message on coral-list
etiquette as a reminder.
Thank you so much for your interest and support of coral-list
Cheers,
Jim
-- Etiquette --
1) When responding to a posting to the list, do not respond
*back* to the entire list unless you feel it is an
answer everyone can benefit from. I think this is
usually the case, but responses such as, "Yeah, tell
me, too!" to the entire list will make you unpopular
in a hurry. Double-check your "To: " line before
sending.
2) Do not "flame" (i.e., scold) colleagues via the coral-list. If
you feel compelled to chastise someone, please send them
mail directly and flame away.
3) Please conduct as much preliminary research into a topic
as possible before posting a query to the list. (In
other words, you shouldn't expect others to do your
research for you.) Please consider:
o Your librarian (an extremely valuable resource)
o The CHAMP Literature Abstracts area at the CHAMP Web site
o The CHAMP Online Researcher's Directory
(i.e., search for your topic, ask the
experts directly)
o The CHAMP (and other) Web sites' links page(s)
o The coral-list archives (see below)
But please *do* avail yourself of the list when you've exhausted
other sources.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To keep from getting irate responses from your
colleagues, it is suggested that you relate your previous
efforts to find information that were unsuccessful when
you post a request.
4) Please carefully consider the purpose of coral-list
before posting a message. This is a forum comprised
primarily of researchers who devote major portions
of their work time to the study of corals or
coral-related issues.
5) Succinct postings are greatly appreciated by all.
6) Archives
Archives of all previous coral-list messages (updated at the
end of each month) can be found at this Web Page:
http://www.coral.aoml.noaa.gov/lists/list-archives.html
Please review these messages on topics that may have already been
discussed in detail before you post new messages on the same topic.
