I. Statement of Purpose
This mailing list was created to support the work of the
students in
Psycholinguistics, to enable us to communicate,
share experiences, announce events, and otherwise keep in touch. To that
end, this closed list will provide a mechanism to quickly distribute
announcements, provide information and to serve as a forum for extended
discussion on matters of concern to all.

II. Mailing to the list
All mail to the psycholinguistics-L mailing list should be sent to:
psycholinguistics-L@oswego.edu
where it will be automatically redistributed to all members of the list.
The list is a closed list, which means that only the students and
instructor will receive the list mail and have access to the archives.
This should allow for unrestrained and freewheeling discussions to
take place.

IV. Privacy

restricted and access to the archives are also restricted. In addition,
members of the list are expected to maintain the list's privacy by not
redistributing any list messages to non-members.

VI. Netiquette Guidelines
There are a number of issues that arise with respect to "good
behavior" on the Internet in general, and mailing lists in particular.
The following are provided as a gentle reminder to be considerate of
the members of the list.
- Always include a signature (minimally name, email address);
Signature files should be kept to four lines.
- Edit postings when doing a follow-up. Some list members pay
for their email, and excessive quoting is both costly and redundant.
- DO NOT SHOUT! (remember that uppercase is considered the
equivalent of shouting)
- Use appropriate subject lines. If your follow-up posting
will change the topic (or thread), please edit the subject line to
reflect the new topic.
- Keep on topic; use personal email to continue private
conversations.
- Respect intellectual property rights. Do not post
copyrighted material without the expressed written consent of the
copyright holder. Remember that under current US and international
law, the word "copyright" does not need to appear in order for material
to be copyrighted. If you didn't create it, check!
- The same is true for posting private email - get permission
from the original sender before redistributing email you have received.
There are a number of guides available which discuss Netiquette.
One of the best is "The Net: User Guidelines and Netiquette" by Arlene
Rinaldi. To obtain a copy via email, send the following one line
command 'send docs-gen rinaldi-netiquette' (without the single quotes)
to almanac@esusda.gov.
This guide is also available through ftp at
ftp.lib.berkeley.edu/pub/net.training/FAU or through the web at
http://www.fau.edu/rinaldi/netiquette.html.
