[Coral-List] coral-list not real-time

[Jim Hendee]

Greetings,

    I just wanted to mention again, in case it is important to you, that 
coral-list messages are moderated and do not always appear immediately 
upon your sending them.  This is because of the daily virus and spam 
bombardment that hits the coral-list queue, because some messages have 
in the past appeared which were inappropriate, and because the 
occasional commerically-oriented message comes into the queue.  Two of 
us (Louis Florit and I) moderate the list to ensure proper content, and 
we may not always attend immediately to your posts (especially after 
midnight during the week, and on the weekends!).  If you do foresee that 
a time-sensitive message will need posting, give us a heads-up and we'll 
be on the look-out for it to see that it gets proper attention and in a 
timely manner.

    Please see the coral-list overview page 
(http://coral.aoml.noaa.gov/mailman/listinfo/coral-list) and the NOAA 
CIO Policy statements (http://www.cio.noaa.gov/itmanagement/ciopol.htm ) 
for proper content guidelines. 

    Thank you for your help and cooperation.

    Sincerely yours,

    Jim Hendee
