Hi all,

 

A few 'off topic' posts have been brought to my attention and I just wanted

to send out a simple reminder about the mailing list.

 

This is the BAY AREA VEGETARIANS mailing list, SFBAVEG. The value of this

mailing list is its *local* focus on vegetarianism and animal rights.

Reposting national and international action alerts or off-topic messages

will change the focus of this list and it will become just like any other

mailing list. I do understand and respect that there are many important

action alerts and topics worthyof discussion, but the SFBAVEG list is not

the proper forum for those concerns.

 

Please keep all posts " on topic " -- as the name implies, this means

vegetarian or animal rights related, for the " Bay Area " . Here is a

3-question quiz to help you determine if your post is relevant:

 

Is this post about vegetarianism?

One point for YES, zero points for NO

 

Is this post about animal rights?

One point for YES, zero points for NO

 

If this post is about an event, action alert or news item, is it local or

California related?

One point for YES, deduct one point for NO

 

If the total score is at least ONE POINT on the quiz, then it is vegetarian

or animal rights related and local and can be posted to the SFBAVeg

discussion list.

 

If the total score is zero, I'm sorry, your post is not relevant to this

list.

 

In order to keep this community viable and useful to all of us, please

respect these guidelines. We have a Charter and FAQ available whenever you

need to refer to it.
