Dear Vendors On LM_NET,
We are glad to have vendors participating in LM_NET. However, there are
certain guidelines that ought to be observed. The following guidelines
appear in our "Welcome to LM_NET" document that is sent to all subscribers
when they join. We realize that it is not alays read by some who join, so
ocasionally the LM_NET moderators post relevant sections. We hope that
this is helpful.
COMMERCIAL AND PROMOTIONAL MESSAGE CONSIDERATIONS
Messages from vendors, producers, authors, speakers, conference/
workshop/seminar organizers, consultants, other producers of products,
or people promoting any kind of causes are prohibited without prior
permission from the LM_NET Moderators.
As a service to supportive vendors, we have made available EL-ANNOUNCE,
a moderated, read-only group. If you subscribe, you will receive
announcements of new products, services, or opportunties specificially
suited the the education and library fields. This is an announcement
list only--there will be no discussion, but you will be able to reply
directly to a specific vendor to obtain additional information.
See: http://home.pacbell.net/pmilbury/
24. You should feel free to engage in general theoretical discussions
about the list topic, but should refrain from turning their replies
into commercials for your own products or causes. Your signature file
should not contain commercial promotions either (i.e., "See our Web
page for our latest specials.")
>From the LM_NET Etiquette Document:
25. If a user posts the question "I'm looking for a program that does
X, Y, and Z", it is OK to reply directly to the individual. If a
member posts the question "Does anyone have information about program
X?", the producer of program X should send information directly to
that person by e-mail rather than posting the information to the list.
If the person finds value in your product, they will probably share
their pleasure with the other LM_NET members.
26. Producers should not cold-contact LM_NET members as a result of
obtaining their e-mail addresses from LM_NET postings, or from the
LM_NET members list, or from the LM_NET Archives. Those that do so
will be dropped from the list, and their lack of etiquette will be
publicized on LM_NET. This is not the place to build a customer list.
