ADMIN - Re: [TPIN] Re: Taps

[Michael Anderson]

All,

Let me remind you of a few things.

1. I police the list. Please do not do so on your own on the list itself.
Feel free to send anyone a private email admonishing them for their post and
feel free to point something out to me in private email you think is out of
bounds.

2. We do NOT discuss religion or politics in this forum. All posts must have
trumpet content. Sometimes, someone will slip in some kind of religious
testimony in a trumpet-related post. If I feel this is excessive and if I
feel it will lead to a religious discussion I will take care of it behind
the scenes.

3. Please do not respond on the list to those asking to unsubscribe. I take
care of all those off-list.

4. TPIN is an International discussion list. It is not "primariy an U.S.
List." Whoever said this is just plain wrong. Sometimes we need to be
reminded that not everyone participating in discussions is from the same
country.

Please let me deal with list issues in my way. Don't waste list bandwidth by
trying to tell someone what is and what isn't appropriate.

Thanks
