more info on hotrod list

This is the charter of the hotrod list, sent out monthly.  I 
mentioned it a few days ago, but did not have subscription info.  
Here it is, read and enjoy.  As I said before, it's a better forum 
for discussions of blowers, etc.

This is what will become a periodic posting of the charter of the
hotrod mailing list, hotrod at dsea.com.  

------------------------------------------------------------------

The mailing list hotrod at dsea.com is chartered to provide a forum for
people interested in high performance vehicles to exchange ideas and
discuss topics of current interest. This list is chartered as broadly
as possible consistent with  noise supression.  I believe it to be
more constructive to list unacceptable topics and behavior rather than
trying to ennumerate permissible behavior.

Unacceptable topics:  

*   Discussions about stock street cars.
*   Discussions about magic elixirs such as Slick 50 with no technical
basis. *   Ford vs Chevy vs ... bashing. *   Foreign or domestic car
bashing. *   Purely Cosmetic issues concerning stock street cars. 
(Buyer's guide
      to fuzzy dice/air fresheners, for example.)
*   Usenet-style flaming of any sort.

Explicitly acceptable is any discussion regarding increasing the
performance of any vehicle.   "For Sale" and other commercial
messages, tastefully done, are permitted.  Please, no hype.

To subscribe to this list, send email to hotrod-request at dsea.com.
Please be sure to include a valid address, one without exclamation
marks, in your request.

To be dropped from the list, mail to hotrod-request at dsea.com.

To post to the list, send mail to hotrod at dsea.com.  Please include  a
meaningful subject line.  Inquiries, and other administrivia should be
addressed to frank at dsea.com.

A lot of people ask if they are missing articles or if they have been
unsubscribed from the list.  There are easy answers to these
questions.

The only two reasons anyone is ever unsubscribed from the list is 
  a) if that person asks or
  b) if mail to an address bounces a lot.  

Due to the way mail agents handle undeliverable mail, I get gobs of
bounced messages.  That combined with the volume of the list means I
must remove an address on the first round of bouncing.  If you are on
an Internet-based machine that uses SMTP, being down for even a short
time will result in bouncing.  UUCP sites seem to have about a day of
cushion.  Simply send a new subscription request to rejoin.

There is an archive service, and a general file retreival service
available.  If your message has a subject line that begins "hotrod
ftpmail", the message is consumed by limited, but prooven, piece of
software that can fetch files.  Try "hotrod ftpmail help" for details.

The archives I currently have consist of old articles put in a digest
format.  Articles are grouped by month.
