Welcome to the PANMA Community Discussion Listserve, serving the PANMA community. There are some simple guidelines to remember when interacting on this list.
Professionalism
This is a discussion list for the professional new media community. This list has a large and varied subscriber list, and a certain degree of professionalism should be used when determining what to send to the list and how to respond to posts. Please consider that many people will be reading what you post. You may not agree with what they have to say, and they may disagree with your opinions.
Profanity
Please use good judgment when adding profanity to your posts. If it seems to be getting out of hand, we will indicate to the users in question that they should monitor their choice of words.
Flaming
If you find a post that you disagree with, please do not use the list as a method of insulting or degrading another member. This discussion list is intended for an educated exchange of ideas and thoughts and we find it hard to qualify flaming as such. If you must be puerile, please send your comments to the person directly and not via the discussion list.
Spamming
This list is intended as a forum for discussing topics of interest to the new media community. It is not an advertising engine. Use discretion posting information regarding products, services and other sales information. If you are uncertain, send a draft to PANMA for approval before you post.
Complaints
If you believe a post has been sent outside the above guidelines, do not send posts of this nature to the discussion list. Please contact us with any complaints.
