[comp.archives] Posting policy changes

comparc@twwells.uucp (comp.archives) (02/24/89)

One of the things causing last month's hiatus in comp.archives was my
intention to read and respond to each posting that came in. Since
this requires time that I don't have, I've decided to change that.
What this means is that I will post an article coming to
comp.archives with only a cursory examination.

You should see two differences:

    1) An increase in responsiveness.
    2) A decrease in my editing messages. I will normally respond, if
       at all, in a followup message.

Also, here's another change: I've noticed that people are posting
archive listings and the like on other newsgroups.  Given my slowness
that is completely understandable.  Also, I had been adopting a
policy of not posting info about an archive till I had contacted the
archivist to verify the info. I've changed that latter, and will now
only verify the data going into the comp.archives database.

I encourage anyone with archive information, either about their own
archive or about any other, to post whatever they have.
