The text of your message was not processed; hopefully this will answer some of your questions. All subscription requests concerning the Libernet lists are now handled by an automated server. Guidelines for new users are shown below, including subscription information. Please save this for future reference, as it also tells you how to unsubscribe and change subscription modes. LIBERNET GUIDELINES FOR NEW USERS Libernet is intended to be a forum for high-quality, real-world oriented presentation of information of interest to classical liberals, libertarians, objectivists, and anyone else interested in applying the philosophy of liberty to the problems of our day. It is also intended for the rapid dissemination of news items that friends of liberty might be interested in. Accordingly, the following topics are appropriate for postings to Libernet: 1) News items: quotes/articles from major newspapers relating to market-oriented approaches to social problems, support for civil liberties, etc. 2) Book reviews 3) Election results 4) Personal stories about campaigning, convincing others about the merits of liberty, etc. 6) Copies of letters to the editor 7) Conference/seminar announcements 8) Upcoming media events of interest 9) Questions about any of the above. The overriding principle of Libernet is that is not to be used as a forum for interactive discussion. Questions are perfectly appropriate, provided their answers are suitable material for Libernet. Within this context, readers are asked to use their judgement. LIBERNET-D: Users interested in a more opinion and idea-oriented forum may wish to subscribe to Libernet-d (the "d" stands for discussion and debate). Libernet-d is intended for the interactive discussion of the more philosophical issues related to a free society, such as political strategy, ideology, and intellectual analysis of libertarian positions. There is no coupling between Libernet and Libernet-d; readers may subscribe to either one or both. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION: Both Libernet and Libernet-d are available in two subscription modes: batch mode and reflective mode. Batch mode subscribers receive one message every day, the "Digest", consisting of the most recent contributions to Libernet or Libernet-d packaged together according to RFC 1154. (If you don't know what this means don't worry about it; nothing special is required to receive batch mode messages). Reflective mode subscribers receive individual messages as they are posted. To subscribe to Libernet and/or Libernet-d in the appropriate mode, send one or more of the following in an email message to "Majordomo@Dartmouth.EDU": subscribe libernet-batch-list subscribe libernet-reflected-list subscribe libernet-d-batch-list subscribe libernet-d-reflected-list This will subscribe the account from which you send the message to the appropriate list. Multiple requests may be included in a single message. If you wish to subscribe another address instead (such as a local redistribution list), you can use a command of the form: subscribe [list name] other-address@your_site.your_net UNSUBSCRIBING AND MODE CHANGES To unsubscribe, replace "subscribe" with "unsubscribe" in the commands of the previous section. Mode changes are accomplished through unsubscribing and subscribing from and to the appropriate lists. ATTRIBUTION: Libernet messages are frequently reprinted in other publications, along with an acknowledgement of the posting party. If you do not wish this to happen, please indicate so in your posting. Otherwise, it is assumed that all postings to Libernet may be reproduced provided ackowledgement of the author is given. PRIVACY: The list of Libernet subscribers and sites is regularly made available to anyone. Please contact owner-libernet@Dartmouth.EDU if this presents a problem. HOW TO POST: To post to Libernet, send your contribution to libernet@dartmouth.edu (internet), or ...dartmouth!libernet (uucp). To post to Libernet-d, replace "libernet" with "libernet-d" in the previous addresses. LONG POSTS: Frequently bills before Congress, articles from magazines and other items that may be of interest to Libernet are excessively lengthy for a complete submission. Contributors are encouraged to summarize the contents and provide information as to where the full text can be found. Complete submissions of legislative drafts, book chapters, and so forth are probably not appropriate, but concise summaries of them are. Uuencoded images and other binary files should not be posted, but announcements of their availability and instructions on how to obtain them are appropriate for Libernet. In accordance with this policy, articles longer than 64K will be deleted from both digests by the Libernet software. They will, however, be sent out in their entirety to reflected mode subscribers. OBTAINING BACK OR MISSED ISSUES: The five most recent copies of the batch-mode Libernet and Libernet-d digests are always available via anonymous ftp from coos.dartmouth.edu (129.170.16.50), in the "Libernet" directory. INACTIVE ACCOUNTS: If you learn that your account is about to become inactive (for example due to graduation or a career change) please ask to be removed from Libernet. This will save me a lot of hassle with bounced mail messages. COMPUSERVE USERS: Please check your mail often, and do not let your mailbox fill up. MORE INFORMATION AND HELP To find out more about the automated server, send the following command to "Majordomo@Dartmouth.EDU": help If you need to reach me directly, send email to owner-libernet@Dartmouth.EDU These guidelines are voluntary, as Libernet is unmoderated.
