A gentle reminder

(1 / 1)


	Please notice the "to:" line of this message. The "junk" distribution
list is specifically intended for messages of general interest, but not REALLY
vital or business_related. Free kittens, restaurant referals, etc. properly go
to "junk", which is not a comment on the content of the message. This is NOT
the place to send messages like holiday schedule, parking-lot repaving, etc. 

	Conversely, "everybody" IS intended for business_related messages which
EVERYBODY (note the name) NEEDS to see. If your message fits that description,
then PLEASE DO use "everybody", so nobody misses out. 

	When we made it possible for non-systems people to use "everybody", in
response to a growing need, we asked that it not be used for casual traffic. I
am repeating that request. The only people you will miss by using "junk" are
those who have specifically requested NOT to receive general-interest stuff. I,
grouch that I am, am nonetheless on "junk". Knowing that, can you imagine the
sort of grouches that have requested removal from junk? Do you really want to
give a kitten to such a person? Do you think they buy flowers? I thought not. 

   Just as a recap: the following lists exist:

	junk		Just about everybody, except a few grouches
	everybody	Literally everybody with a VAX account
	engineer	The whole engineering dept.
	unix		People interested in the unix(tm) operating system
	system		The four of us systems folk
	mooreteam	People reporting to Rich Moore
	animators	Just what it says
	rainsgang	People reporting to Lyle Rains
	vangang		People reporting to Dan Van
	alphateam	People reporting to Chris Downend
	component	Components Engineering
	teamtaco	Design Services
	survivors	The softball team

   The following should be self explanatory:

	mfg
	purch
	custsvc
	finance
	admin
	management
