        ************************************************************
        ******* LIST POLICIES AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS *******
        ************************************************************



PLEASE READ.  This document contains Europa-List policies and information
for new and old subscribers.  Understanding the Europa-List policies will
minimize problems for the Administrator, and will help keep the Europa-List
running smoothly for all of us.


******************************************
*** Quick Start Guide to List Features ***
******************************************

   There are many features available on the Matronics Email Lists and each
   one is described in detailed below.  However, using the List Navigator
   you can quickly access the complete set of features available for this
   List.  The List Navigator can be found at the following URL:

                 http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Europa-List



****************************************
*** How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe ***
****************************************

   Simply go to the Web Page shown below and enter your email address and
   select the List(s) that you wish to subscribe or unsubscribed from.  You
   may also use the handy "Find" function to determine the exact syntax of 
   your email address as it is subscribed to the List.  Please see the 
   complete instructions at the top of the Web Page for more information.
   The Subscribe/Unsubscribe web page is:

                 http://www.matronics.com/subscribe

   Note that you will receive TWO conformation emails regarding your subsciption
   process.  The first verifies that your subscription/unsubsciption request
   was received, and the second confirms that the process has been completed.

   You should receive the first email within a few minutes of your request.  
   The second conformation will arrive in less than 24 hours.  You cannot post 
   until you receive the second conformation email message.



*****************************
*** How to Post a Message ***
*****************************

   Send an email message to:

                  europa-list@matronics.com

   Your message will be redistributed to everyone currently subscribed
   to the List.



*****************************************************
*** SPAM Fighter - You Must be Subscribed to Post ***
*****************************************************

   When a new post is received by the system, the From: line of the message
   is checked and compared against the current subscription list.  If the
   email address is found, the message is passed on to the List Processor.
   If the email address isn't found in the current list of subscribers, it
   is dumped.  This serves to very effectively thwart 99% of the SPAM that
   gets posted to the Lists.

   Remember, however, that the syntax of your email address is very important
   with regard to the configuration of your email application such as Outlook
   or Eudora.  For example, the following two email addresses may be
   functionally equivalent, but only one would pass the Matronics Email SPAM
   test depending on which was syntax was subscribed to the given List:

                  smith@machine.domain.com

                  smith@domain.com

  Either email address syntax is alright, just be sure that you configure
  your email application to match *exactly* the address you've subscibed to 
  the List.



**************************************
*** Enclosure Support on the Lists *** 
**************************************

   Limited posting of enclosures such as pictures, documents, and spreadsheets
   is supported on the Lists.  There are a number of restrictions, and these
   are detailed below.  Please abide by the rules put forth regarding the
   content of enclosures.

   These are some of the features and limits of enclosures on the Matronics 
   Lists:

   1) Enclosures will only be posted to the Real Time version of the Lists.

   2) Enclosures will NOT be included in the Daily Digest version of the Lists.

   3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded on to the BBS Forum Web site.

   4) Enclosures will NOT be appended to the Archives.

   5) Enclosures will NOT be available in the List Browse feature.

   6) Only the following file types and extensions will be allowed:

                 bmp doc dwg dxf gif jpg pdf png txt xls

      All other enclosures types will be rejected and email returned to
      sender.  The enclosure types listed above are relatively safe from
      a virus standpoint and don't pose a particularly large security risk.

   7) !! All incoming enclosures will be scanned for viruses prior to posting
      to the List.  This is done in real time and will not slow down
      the process of posting the message !!


   Here are some rules for posting enclosures.  Failure to abide by these rules 
   could result in the removal of a subscriber's email address from the Lists.

   1) Pay attention to what you are posting!!  Make sure that the files
      you are enclosing aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB).  Remember that there
      are still people checking they're email via dial up modem.  If you post
      30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an unnecessary burden on these
      folks and the rest of us, for that matter.

   2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!!  I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000
      pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each.  This is just 
      unacceptable.  Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the picture
      down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the
      file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less.

      Microsoft has a really awesome utility available for free that allows
      you to Right-Click on a picture in Explorer and automatically 
      scale it down and resave it.  This is a great utility - get it, use it!
      http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
      Look for the link "Image Resizer"

   3) !! This would seem to go without saying, but I'll say it anyway.  Do not
      post anything that would be considered offensive by your grandmother.
      And you know what I'm saying; I don't want to see anything even 
      questionable. !!

   4) REMEMBER THIS: If you post a 1MB enclosure to a List with 1000 members
      subscribed, your 1MB enclosure must be resent 1000 times amounting
      to 1MB X 1000 = 1 Gigabyte of network traffic!!  BE CAREFUL and 
      BE COURTEOUS!

   Also see the section below on the Matronics Photo and File Share where
   you can have your files and photos posted on the Matronics web server
   for long time viewing and availability.



*******************
*** Digest Mode ***
*******************

   Each day, starting at 12 midnight PST US, a new 'digest' will be started.
   This digest will contain the same information that is currently appended 
   to the archive file.  It has all of the headers except for the "From:"
   and "Subject:" lines removed, and includes a message separator consisting 
   of a line of underscores.

   Each day at 23:55 PST US, the day's messages as described above will be
   combined and sent as a single message to everyone on the digest email list.

   To subscribe to the digest list, use the same subscription web form 
   described above, and just select the Digest version of the List.

                 http://www.matronics.com/subscribe

   Note that you *can* be subscribed to both the realtime and digest versions
   of the List at the same time.  This is perfectly acceptable.

  Now some caveats:

   * Messages sent to "europa-list-digest" will be forwarded to the standard
     email list.  In other words, you cannot post messages only to the
     digest List.

   * If you are subscribed to both the regular List and the digest List, you
     will receive the realtime postings as well as the digest at the end of
     the day.

   * If you reply to the digest email, your message will be forwarded to the
     normal list associated with the digest.  Important Note:  Please change
     the subject line to reflect the topic of your response!  Also, please 
     *do not include all or most of the digest in your reply*.



****************************
*** List Digest Browser ***
****************************

   An archive of all the List Digests can be found online in either plain text
   or HTML format.  These archives contain the exact Digest that was posted to
   the Digest email list on the given day.  The Digest Archives can be found
   at the following location: 

                 http://www.matronics.com/digest



*****************************************
*** The "DO NOT ARCHIVE" Message Flag ***
*****************************************

   At times, your message may concern something that is revelent only to a very 
   small number of persons or to a limited area, and you may not wish to archive 
   it.  In such a case, simply put the following phrase anywhere in the 
   message:

                 do not archive

   Your message will not be appended to the archive, but will be sent to List 
   email distribution as normal.



**********************************************
***** READ THIS - Automatic Unsubscribes *****
**********************************************

   Note that if your email address begins to cause problems such as bounced
   email, mailbox is filled, or any other errors, your address will be promptly
   removed from the List.  If you discover that you are no longer receiving
   messages from the Europa-List, go to the following Web page, and look
   for your email address and a possible reason for your removal.

   The Matronics Email List uses utility called the "Email Weasel" that 
   automatically looks though the day's bounced email for addresses that 
   caused problems due to common things like "user is unknown", "mailbox 
   full", etc.  If the Email Weasel removes your email address from the 
   Lists you will find record of it at the following URL:

                 http://www.matronics.com/unsubscribed

   If the problem listed on the web site above has been resolved, please feel 
   free to resubscribe to the Lists of your choice.



*******************************

   be used for any other commercial purpose.



****************************************
*** Realtime Web Email List Browsing ***
****************************************

   Recent messages posted to the Europa-List are also made available on
   the Web for realtime browsing.  Seven days worth of back postings are
   available with this feature.  The messages can be sorted by Subject, 
   Author, Date, or Message Thread.  The Realtime List Browser indexes are 
   updated twice per hour at xx:15 and xx:45.  You can also reply to a message 
   or start a new message directly from the List Browser Interface (coming soon).
   You do not have to be subscribed to the given list to use the List
   Browser Interface in view-mode.

                 http://www.matronics.com/browselist/europa-list



*******************************************
*** Web Forums Bulletin Board Interface ***
*******************************************

   A phpBB BBS web Forums front end is available for all Europa-List content.
   content.  The Forums contain all of the same content available via the email 
   distribution and found on the various archive viewing formats such as the 
   List Browse, etc.  Any posts on the web Forums will be cross posted to the 
   respective email List, and posts to the Email List will be cross posted to 
   the web Forums.

   You may view all List content on the Forums without any special login.
   If you wish to post a message via the Web Forum interface, however, you
   will need to Register.  This is a simple process that takes only a few
   minutes.  A link to the Registration page can be found at the top of the
   main web Forums page.  Note that registering on the Forum web site also
   enables you to send email posts to the Lists as well.  You will also need to 
   Subscribe to the respective Email List as described above to receive the
   Email Distribution of the List, however.

   The Matroincs Email List Web BBS Forums can be found at the following URL:

                 http://forums.matronics.com



*********************************
*** Matronics Email List Wiki ***
*********************************

In an attempt to make it easy to store and find structured and often accessed 
information, Matronics has installed a Wiki at:

                 http://wiki.matronics.com

The Wiki allows individuals to create web pages to contain useful information 
for other users of the mailing lists and web site. Unlike an ordinary web page 
where the content needs to be submitted to Matronics for inclusion, the Wiki 
permits the users to construct their own pages and have them visible immediately.

While constructing pages for the Wiki is not difficult, some may not be 
comfortable building pages.  In that case, simply prepare the text and any 
images and email it to:

                wiki-support@matronics.com

One of the volunteers on that list will take your submission and construct 
a Wiki page for you.

Often someone produces a particularly useful posting in email one one of the 
Lists that would be of general interest. In that case Matronics may take that 
post and convert it into a Wiki page.

                  pictures@matronics.com

   !! ==> Please including the following information with each submission:

                  1) Email Lists that they are related to.
                  2) Your Full Name.
                  3) Your Email Address.
                  4) One line Subject description.

   photos available on the web site is a pseudo-manual process, and I try to
   process them every few days.

   Following the availability of the new Photoshare, an email message will be
   sent to the Email Lists enumerated in 1) above indicating that the new
   Share is available and what the direct URL to it is.

   A complete Matronics Email List Archive CD is available that contains
   all of the archives since the beginning of each of the Lists.  The archives
   for all of the Lists are included on the CD along with a freeware search
   engine written by a list member.  The CD is burned the day you order it
   and will contain archive received  up to the last minute.  They make 
   great gifts!

                  http://www.matronics.com/ArchiveCDROM



**********************************
*** List Support Contributions ***
**********************************

   The Matronics Lists are run *completely* through the support of it members.
   You won't find any PopUpAds, flashing Banner ads, or any other form of
   annoying commercialism on either the Email Messages or the List web pages
   associated with the Matronics Email Lists.  Every year during November
   I run a low-key, low-pressure "Fund Raiser" where, throughout the month,
   I ask List members to make a Contribution in any amount with which they 
   are comfortable.

   I will often offer free gifts with certain contribution levels during the
   Fund Raiser to increase the participation.  The gifts are usually donated
   by companies that are themselves List members.

   Your Contributions go directly to supporting the operation of the Lists
   including the high-speed, business-class Internet connection, server
   system hardware and software upgrades, and to partially offset the many
   many hours I spend running, maintaining, upgrading, and developing the
   variety of services found here.

   Generally Contributions range from $20 to $100 and are completely voluntary
   and non-compulsory.  I ask only that if person enjoys the Lists and obtains
   value from them, that they make a Contribution of equal magnitude.

   Contributions are accepted throughout the year, and if you've just 
   subscribed, feel free to make a Contribution when you've settled in.

   The website for making SSL Secure Contributions is listed below.  There are
   a variety of payment methods including Visa and MasterCard, PayPal, and
   sending a personal check.

   If you enjoy and value the List, won't you make a Contribution today to
   support its continued operation?

                  http://www.matronics.com/contributions

things related to this particular discussion group.  The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation.  Reaching these goals 
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of 
the List.  To this end, the following guidelines have been established:


 - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level.  Do not submit
   posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
   lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.

 - THINK carefully before you write.  Ask yourself if your post will be
   relevant to everyone.  If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.

 - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
   that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate.  Try to be concise and
   terse in your posts.  Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
   responses.

 - Keep your signature brief.  Please include your name, email address,
   aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location.  A short line
   about where you are in the building process is also nice.  Avoid
   bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
   space in the archive.

 - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
   easily obtainable from other widely available sources.  Consult the
   web page or FAQ first.

 - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
   your response the same as that of the original post.  This makes it
   easy to find threads in the archive.

 - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
   response.  DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
   reader to the topic at hand, but be selective.  The impact that
   quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive 
   can not be overstated!

 - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
   then go ahead and reply to the List.  Be aware that clicking the
   "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
   response to the original poster.  You might have to actively address
   your response with the original poster's email address.

 - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
   to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal.  "Way to go!", "I
   agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
   to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.

 - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
   comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
   contribute something valuable.

 - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
   polite and respectful.  Don't make snide comments, personally attack
   other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
   controversial issue.  This will only cause a pointless debate that
   will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.

 - Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly 
   subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable.  Posts by 
   List members promoting their respective products or items for sale 
   should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble 
   a typical SPAM message.  The List isn't about commercialism, but 
   is about sharing information and knowledge.  This applies to 
   everyone, including those who provide products to the entire 
   community.  Informal presentation and moderation should be the 
   operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.
