Hi there. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me off-list.

Message sizes are restricted to 4 megabytes (4,000 kb). That includes text and any file attachments. Any larger message will be held by the server and sent to me for review.

And a reminder to not post off topic items.

1. Don't post jokes, thanks, apologies, simple agreements, news items, chit-chat, events, politics, marketing, virus info, leads, jobs, items for sale, or anything else that is off-topic.

2. Don't respond on-list to others' off topic posts.

3. Don't post items that are available for sale or free, but it's OK to send them to the RE-Markets list.

3a. From time to time people post items that they need but are having problems locating (like an older model PV module to replace a broken one), but these requests should be responded to off-list. And these requests should state within them, something like: "if you have one, please contact me off list."

4. If you have a message that is intended for individuals who are on the list, like "thanks" or "yes, I have one of those things you are looking for," don't send it to the whole list -- just send it to the individuals.

5. Do not post administrative inquiries, but rather send them to me off-list. 

6. Never post  leads or job openings of any kind on the list.

Thank-you.
