-- Services and Contacts-- Introduction -------------------------------------------------------
Popforum is a mailing list for people who are interested in Poplog and
other Pop languages. This list is one of the services provided by the
Poplog and Pop Languages User Group. So far the main uses of the forum
have been:
* discussing the future directions of Poplog;
* announcements of enhancements, conferences, or ideas;
* requests for help on various topics.
-- Members List -------------------------------------------------------
A list of popforum members is maintained by the administrator. This list
is sent to new members, and is occasionally sent to all members
popforum, so that people with like interests can get in touch. You can
mail to all members of the list by mailing to:
popforum%hplb@uk.ac.uknet (THIS NO LONGER WORKS)
All mail to popforum is archived, because there are occasionally debates
or questions that are relevant later. You can request 'back-issues' of
mail discussions - see below.
-- Joining Popforum --------------------------------------------------
If you want to join popforum, or to request back-issues, simply post to:
popforum-admin%hplb@uk.ac.uknet (THIS NO LONGER WORKS)
-- Etiquette ----------------------------------------------------------
Since responsible people are reluctant to post trivial or dull questions
to everyone, some members (our Agony Aunts & Uncles) have volunteered to
field these kinds of requests. These people are listed at the end of
this file. To find out who is currently available to help post a request
to comp.lang.pop or the mailing list.
DO NOT POST IRRELEVANT ADVERTISEMENTS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS
-- Books and Resources List -------------------------------------------
The Poplog and Pop Languages User Group maintains a list of books,
papers, companies, and other resources related to Poplog. Some of this
information may be available in help files on your system (see HELP
*RESOURCES for details), and also
http://www.poplog.org
-- Services and Contacts ----------------------------------------------
(1) Popforum Administrator
E-mail: pop-forum-request@cs.bham.ac.uk
Please send all e-mail requests to this address.
This covers such things as:
* subscribing,
* back-issues,
* members list,
* books and resources list.
(2) Popforum
E-mail: pop-forum@cs.bham.ac.uk
Send to this address to have your message broadcast to all
subscribers.
Please do not post irrelevant advertisements. People who
abuse this email list will be reported to their service
providers or local system managers, and may have their
accounts terminated.
(3) Agony Uncles
Suggestions and advice can be sought from pop-forum which
generally provides solutions quickly. However, you may feel that
that you do not wish to publicise your problems, perhaps because
they are too "trivial" or perhaps because they are sensitive. In
this case, you can write to one or more of the agony uncles
below. They will try to answer your questions personally. If
they do not know an answer, or your problem is intrinsically
interesting, then they may put the question to the forum, but
without using your name. So you should get an answer mailed to
you in person, or by reading the ensuing discussion. If you are
prepared to volunteer as an agony uncle, let me know.
+ When writing to one of the volunteers, please clearly indicate
+ that you are writing in that context. (Otherwise the volunteer
+ may think it is misdirected mail!)
