Since there has been a couple posting stating they never saw any rules when
signing up, also we have had many members wanting to exit the list and
don't know how. When you joined, there was a message sent with all the
rules regarding the list, it also states how to get out of the list. It
appears that many members have deleted this... Just for information here is
a copy of the message, If you did not save it before--save it now for
future use.
Notice the first paragraph under things to note: pretty much notes that miq
run this list and can do as he sees fit to make it the list it is.  Keep in
mind that he can dissolve the list at any time also.... Here it is...Please
save if you haven't already......  Wayne

Welcome to the oletrucks mailing list!

Please save this message for future reference.  Thank you.

If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list,
you can send mail to <Majordomo@autox.team.net> with the following
command in the body of your email message:

    unsubscribe oletrucks

or from another account, besides wayne@chevytrucks.org:

    unsubscribe oletrucks wayne@chevytrucks.org

If you ever need to get in contact with the owner of the list,
(if you have trouble unsubscribing, or have questions about the
list itself) send email to <owner-oletrucks@autox.team.net> .
This is the general rule for most mailing lists when you need
to contact a human.

 Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to,
 in case you don't already have it:


This is the info message for the oletrucks@autox.team.net list.  It is
intended
as a forum for email discussion by those interested in


Send your mail for the entire list to

    oletrucks@autox.team.net


To unsubscribe from oletrucks, send the following in the body (not
the subject line) of an email message to "majordomo@autox.team.net":

        unsubscribe oletrucks


This will unsubscribe the account from which you send the message.
If you are subscribed with some other address, you'll have to send
a command of the following form instead:

        unsubscribe oletrucks other-address@your_site.your_net


When you send some other request which majordomo doesn't understand to
the majordomo@autox.team.net address, it may take days, maybe even a week
before a human gets around to reading it and actually acting upon it.

A web based majordomo interface is currently being evaluated, try out

Some things to note:
--------------------

Like the other lists served from autox.team.net, this one continues to exist
through the volunteer efforts of the list manager, Mark J. Bradakis,
mjb@autox.team.net.  The list manager retains the right to make any and all
changes to list content, membership and policies, including dissolving the
list, at any time as he sees fit.

The postings to this list are intended only for those on this list.  Any
reproduction by any means without the express consent of the author is not
only rude and stupid, but prohibited.


  Mail for the list gets sent to hundreds of people, traveling through many
hundreds, if not a thousand or more, computers.  This may take days to
actually occur, as some sites still use once a day polling to transmit mail.


Given the current state of technology it is not improbable that one of those
links will exhibit some sort of problem.  When you post a message, you may get
back error messages.  This DOES NOT mean you need to resend it.  What it does
mean is that everybody got it except for maybe one or two folks.  Don't repost
things unless you are absolutely, positively sure it did not reach anyone on
the list.


Also remember that not everyone has the latest and greatest technology at
their fingertips.  Keep your text limited to lines less than 80 characters
long.  Turn off HTML formatting if you send mail out with a web-based mailer.
Turn off any of those Microsoft attachemnts as well, if you are using any
Microsoft products to send your mail.  Folks with PCs  may have trouble with
this, learn to drive your mailer or go away.

Try to keep the size of your submissions under control.  Post writeups
of events you attend, but don't get too long winded.  Feel free to ask about
technical issues, parts and cars, either wanted or for sale.  Do NOT think
that everybody on the list wants to have some nice big picture dumped in their
mailbox.  If you want to send out pictures, programs or anything more than
a few paragraphs long, send a short note to the list explaining what you have,
what boxes it will run on, and how folks can get it if they wish.
