Bay Area (from BALE) From: liw@iki.fi Thank you for your comp.os.linux.announce article! Comp.os.linux.announce is a moderated USENET newsgroup, which means that all articles are screened by the moderator (that's me) before they are sent to the newsgroup. The purpose of this mail is to inform you that your article has arrived to the moderator's mailbox. If I think it is suitable for the group, I will post it. If the article is not suitable, for example, if it isn't an announcement at all, I will just throw it away (i.e., if you sent it by mistake, you can now forget it; no apologies are needed). If it _is_ an announcement, but I don't think it is appropriate, I will send it back with an explanation. If your article was crossposted to other groups, note that it hasn't and won't appear in any of them. Also note that I will remove all cross-posts before the article is posted to comp.os.linux.announce, except in very rare occasions. If your article needs to be posted in several groups, please post it once to each moderated group, and once for all other groups (i.e., don't cross-post to moderated groups, since that makes it harder for moderators, if they want to preserve the cross-posting). (Your news software should tell you if a group is moderated. The list of newsgroups posted to news.announce.newgroups also contains this information.) All articles in comp.os.linux.announce contain a Followup-To header to divert replies away from the my mailbox. If you failed to include such a header, I will invent one (one of the Linux newsgroups). It would be nice if you include a header the next time. (You don't need to add it and re-send it.) If you included a Linux Software Map (LSM) entry, please remember to send it also to the LSM Robot at lsm@execpc.com, so that it will be included in the master LSM database. (Actually, it is better to send it to the Robot first, because the Robot checks the entry for superficial syntactic problems.) I'm sometimes very busy with other things, so please be patient if it takes me a few days to get it posted. Please wait a couple of days until you query. If you have something urgent, please include the word "URGENT" in the subject. Comp.os.linux.announce is also available via e-mail by a news-to-mail gateway operated at MIT. To receive announcements by mail, send mail to Linux-Announce-Request@NEWS-DIGESTS.MIT.EDU with the word "subscribe" (without the quotes) as the first line of the message (nothing else on the line). (Note that I don't operate that list, and can't help you with any problems with it. Sorry.) If you want to get the comp.os.linux.announce help file, check out the WWW page at http://www.iki.fi/liw/linux/cola.html. There are now 46 letters in the incoming folder for comp.os.linux.announce. The oldest one arrived Jul, 29. Have a nice day. Lars Wirzenius, liw@iki.fi, moderator. (This letter is generated and sent automatically.) Message 8/291 From liw+xyzzy@iki.fi Aug 6, 97 12:23:55 pm +0300 Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 12:23:55 +0300 (EEST) To: Rick Moen X-Automatically-Sent-By: pycola Subject: Re: LOCAL: August Linux events in S.F. Bay Area (from BALE) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I've just posted your article to comp.os.linux.announce. It should show up in the newsgroup soon, unless there are problems with the news flow. If you haven't seen it within three or four days after you get this letter, please notify me. Thanks. Note that I may have changed the subject line, added a Followup-to header, and possibly done something else to the article to make it serve the readers better. Please check the article in the newsgroup and modify your later announcements in a similar way. Note that you do not have to do things in exactly the same way, but something similar would be good. For example, if you pick a Followup-to header yourself, it makes it easier for me to process the announcement (which makes me work faster). If I modified the subject line, perhaps by adding a "LOCAL:" or "COMMERCIAL:" prefix, or changed "foo version 1.0 released" to "foo 1.0 - wysiwyg foo processor', then please make the subject of the next announcement similar. (Put as much relevant information in the subject as possible, so that readers can pick interesting articles based on the subject alone.) Lars Wirzenius, moderator.
