Hello everyone,
By popular demand I have come up with a solution for the not so politically
inclined. This will require extreme cooperation. Please read this
carefully and save this message for future use.
First, we will establish a general definition of US-Politics.
US-Politics will be defined as anything that is not a discussion of clinical
orthotics and prosthetics, but relates to US professional or industry
organizations, US professional regulation (or lack there of), and US
educational standards (or lack there of), etc. Since other nations have not
created any disruption, we will not worry about other problems until they
arise.
Secondly, and most importantly, there is a standard which MUST be used when
posting to oandp-l:
All postings which fall under the description of US Politics MUST contain
the following syntax in the subject line, exactly as you see it here:
US-Politics:
There MUST be a dash between US and Politics, and there must be a colon
after it.
IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO RECEIVE POSTINGS RELATED TO US-POLITICS, FOLLOW THESE
INSTRCTIONS EXACTLY:
Send a message to: <Email Address Redacted>
In the body of the message type:
Set oandp-l topics= -US-Politics
Now send the message and you shall be free of all US-Politics messages.
That is a minus sign before the word US-Politics.
People MUST use exact syntax in the subject for US-Politics. We will refer
to the subject line from now on as
US DASH POLITICS: so that people do not forget the dash between the two.
If anyone chooses to post using any other form of this subject, please send
them a copy of this letter. It may only take one mistake before they learn
how serious this issue is to those who are not interested. There will be a
strict two strike policy. The first offense will be followed by a warning
and another copy of this e-mail, the second time they will be removed from
the list without warning.
If anyone has any questions or comments please email me directly.
I am working on getting a footer to appear with every message now so that
unsubscribe instructions are included in all messages. Hopefully soon.
Sincerely,
Paul E. Prusakowski, CPO
