[Air-l] Air-list

[radhika gajjala]

I'm not sure (I dont remember if) if air was ever programmed for this 
or not - but I remember when I was running the postcolonial list - we 
configured it so that after three posts in a span of 24 hours - a 
member's post was automatically sent back.

>>  Dear all
>>
>>  There have been some vibrant and important discussions lately
>>  on air-list and I, and am sure many others, have been
>>  following them with interest, appreciating the time and
>>  effort people put into free scholarly discussion. This has
>>  always been the case with air-list and I hope that it
>>  continues in that vein.
>>
>>  All of us will be aware, after more than a decade's research
>>  into online communication, that from time to time, the
>>  freedom of the means of communication and the lack of
>>  co-presence can limit the effectiveness of the overall
>>  communicative process or produce unexpected and
>>  counter-productive damage to that process.
>>
>>  As has been pointed out recently on the list, air does, like
>>  most lists, have a stated etiquette
>>  (http://www.aoir.org/?q=node/5). The etiquette is
>>  deliberately open to interpretation so as to enjoin each list
>>  subscriber to think carefully about the manner and content of
>>  their communications via the list as well as their reaction
>>  to others' communications. Balancing enthusiastic, engaged
>>  and productively antagonistic discussion with respect for
>>  others and their views does not happen because of the
>>  etiquette but because of people's commitment to those
>>  outcomes, guided by the etiquette. May I ask subscribers to
>>  utilise this guidance please.
>>
>>  I would also remind subscribers that air-list is a service
>>  provided by the Association as one of the primary means of
>>  achieving the Association's primary objectives concerning
>>  scholarship of the Internet. Management of the conduct of the
>>  list, including permission to subscribe, conditions under
>>  which subscription is permitted, conduct of subscribers etc.,
>>  remains at all times the prerogative of the Asssociation
>>  whose affairs are conducted by the Executive.
>>
>>  Finally, the Executive is currently reviewing the etiquette
>>  statement and will be discussing whether or not it should be
>>  revised and if so, in what manner, at the Brisbane Executive meeting.
>>
>>  Best wishes
