[RE-wrenches] Admin Post, do not respond on list

[Michael Welch]

Hi there Wrenches. Please do not respond to this on the list. Email me directly, off-list, if you have something to add.

It's been a few days since I've received any Wrench list emails. It worries me when that happens, so I'm taking a moment to send this "test" message, which also contains info on what we consider "off topic." 

Thanks for all, and be safe out there.

Just a reminder to not post off topic items.

1. Don't post jokes, thanks, apologies, 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, either from you or from others. 

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. And finally, a reminder to never post  leads or job openings of any kind on the list.

Thank-you.
