[spectre] from the moderator machine - when your message disappears...

[Andreas Broeckmann]

Dear friends and fellow spectrites,

just a reminder of some basic rules for the spectre-list; this is 
important to remember, esp. when you normally love attachments, 
exotic colour fonts and multiple-address posting:

The Mailman-software we use is configured to accept:

- no HTML, no formatted text, no attachments
- messages must be smaller than 40K
- you have to post from a subscribed address

Messages which don't apply to these rules sometimes get discarded 
automatically, so if you don't see your messages appearing on the 
list, try the beauties of plain text.

This morning, the list has 992 subscribers.

Best regards from Inke and Andreas

SPECTRE is an open, unmoderated mailing list for media art and 
culture in Deep Europe.

Initiated in August 2001, SPECTRE offers a channel for practical 
information exchange concerning events, projects and initiatives 
organized within the field of media culture, and hosts discussions 
and critical commentary about the development of art, culture and 
politics in and beyond Europe. Deep Europe is not a particular 
territory, but is based on an attitude and experience of layered 
identities and histories - ubiquitous in Europe, yet in no way 
restricted by its topographical borders.

SPECTRE is a channel for people involved in old and new media in art 
and culture. Importantly, many people on this list know each other 
personally. SPECTRE aims to facilitate real-life meetings and favours 
real face-to-face (screen - to - screen) cooperation, test-bed 
experiences and environments to provoke querying of issues of 
cultural identity / identification and difference (translatable as 
well as untranslatable or irreducible).
