| Officers & Staff | Welcome to the San Diego libertarian email lists. There are two,
for different purposes. By default, new subscribers are added only
to the "announcements" list (first). If you want to be added to the
"discussion" list, please send me a request.
1. 'sdlp@sdlp.org' is for announcements, both from the LP and from "small l" libertarians, informational posts, queries from new or potential LP members, items of interest such as letters to the editor, articles of libertarian interest, notices of upcoming TV programs or other events, etc. 2. 'sd-libchat@sdlp.org' is for discussions, debates, opinion posts, controversial topics, provocative letters or articles, etc. Also, if you want to reply or comment on an 'sdlp@sdlp.org' post, send your email to 'sd-libchat@sdlp.org' (there is no discussion on 'sdlp@sdlp.org'). The rules for both lists are: no flaming (even emotional topics on 'sd-libchat@sdlp.org' are no excuse for ad hominem attacks on your fellow subscribers), no spamming (e.g., advertisements), and no posting items larger than 30 Kbytes in size (some people still have slow systems and these large posts noticeably impact their computers). Anything larger than 30 Kbytes should be put on a web page, or emailed privately to people who request a copy from you. I hope that you enjoy the lists and find them useful. Best,

Please check the following web sites before you post the warning. You may find out that the virus in question is a known hoax, or you may confirm that it is a legitimate threat. Here are web sites that both list hoaxes AND legitimate threats. http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html http://www.mcafee.com/centers/anti-virus/ http://www.datafellows.com/virus-info/hoax/ That last site recommends NEVER forwarding virus warnings to anybody except to your company's information services department. ============================================================== ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks for answers from Edward Teyssier, Mark
Laythorpe, Bill Holmes, John McPherson, and Richard Rider.
