[Air-l] Reminder about message size and content

[Holly Kruse]

Just two reminders to air-l posters and potential posters.  First:

Please make your post part of scholarly discussion and appropriate for an
email list sponsored by the Association of Internet Researchers, which is an
academic association dedicated to the advancement of the cross-disciplinary
field of Internet studies. It is a member-based support network promoting
critical and scholarly Internet research.  The air-l email list is a place
for individuals to engage in conversations about key research concerns and
network with similarly-minded scholars.  Please do not use air-l to post
out-of-place messages about businesses or products with no context.  To get
a better understanding of the purpose of air-l, please read some of the
discussions in the list archives at

http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org


And regarding message size, because every week several messages are held by
the list server because they exceed the limit for list posts.  To avoid
having this happen to you:

Please realize that messages sent in HTML rather than plain text tend to be
inordinately large. AIR-L doesn't accept postings larger than 10 KB. If you
have information in excess of that limit, a link to a relevant web page is
often a better option.

If your message is rejected for length because you included most or all of
an air-l digest in a response, please edit the excerpted material and
re-send your post.  If it was overly long because it was posted in HTML or
RTF or MIME, then please try not to post in those formats - they mess up the
digest version of AIR-L and the web archive. If your message is held for
excessive length, it is not a rejection of your posting, only its format, so
please re-post in plain text.  If you need help figuring out how to do this,
just contact me.



Thanks,
