Welcome to the CAP-PAO mailing list! Please save this message for future reference. If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, send the following command in email to "Majordomo@Lists.SemperVigilans.ORG": unsubscribe cap-pao [Your E-Mail Address, without brackets] To send messages to this list, please send them in plain text mode to: cap-PAO@Lists.SemperVigilans.ORG Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it, prepared by CAP-PAO Owner Michael Marek: Description of CAP-PAO This list is for discussion of issues related to CAP Public Affairs. It was formed to give CAP members a place to discuss the CAP Public Affairs program other than in the more general CAP-TALK and other CAP-related distribution lists. This list is open to anyone, not just CAP members, as long as you are willing to take a professional approach to our conversations. Appropriate subject matter for CAP-PAO includes the wide range of issues we deal with public affairs, including producing newsletters, dealing with news media, still and video photography, and other things generally related to public relations. CAP-PAO has been a fairly low volume list since its creation. This seems to be because many CAP PAOs feel they are inexperienced, and are here to learn more than they are to share expertise. Public Affairs is also an art, not a science, and it is often not possible to give a black and white, right-wrong answer to a question. If you have either questions *OR* success stories, please post them. CAP-PAO is not an official fixture of Civil Air Patrol, Inc. Specifically, it is not a "back-door" to enable participants to circumvent the chain of command. Although Region and National staff may participate, any proposals for changes in regulations and procedures will need to go through chain-of-command channels. Unless they label the message otherwise, everyone should be understood to be speaking as individuals, and not on behalf of their CAP duty assignments. Policies The number one rule of CAP-PAO is "Be Polite!" There is no excuse for insults, name calling, and other types of "flames." As CAP members, we have respect for the opinions of others. If we disagree, we discuss those disagreements on a PROFESSIONAL level. Unless otherwise stated, ALL POSTS ARE THE PERSONAL OPINION OF THE ORIGINATOR. This includes posts from the CAP National HQ domain. The list owner reserves the right to make rulings about topics, threads and general appropriateness of message subject matter. By posting in this list you agree to comply with the rules of the list, and with rulings of the list owner. CAP-PAO is set so that replies go to the entire list. This helps promote conversation, but it also means that when you hit "reply" your message will go to everybody, not just the sender of the message. Please beware that your reply comments are appropriate for everyone. CAP-PAO is also set so that messages from addresses that are not subscribed will be bounced to the Owner for review. Similarly messages that are cross-posted with CAP-TALK are bounced for Owner approval. This is because of past problems in which people tried to incite trouble in this list. Note: This means that if you subscribe at one address and forward message to another address to read you will not be able to post messages from that second address. Please limit included text in follow-ups. Please trim all unnecessary quoted material, including excess headers. Generally, readers should not have to "page down" to see the new text you have added, following a brief quote of the previous message to indicate the key points to which you are replying. Do not send attached files with your messages. The Majordomo will generally not deliver attached files. If you know you are going to lose your Internet account, please unsubscribe from all CAP lists before the account is canceled. If you do not, messages to your former address will bounce, and each list owner will have to unsubscribe you manually. To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@lists.sempervigilans.org. On the first line, put: unsubscribe cap-comm. You may use one message to unsubscribe to other lists on the Lists.SemperVigilans.ORG Majordomo as well by putting additional unsubscribe lines in the message, one per line. Posting & Digests All messages sent to CAP-PAO@lists.sempervigilans.org are immediately forwarded to members of this list. There is also a digest version of the list available; subscribers to the digest version receive all the same messages, but they are collected into "digests", rather than sent as individual messages. The digests are sent daily, or more often if warranted by message volume. If you need the digest form of the list, ask the list owner. There are a couple of reasons your messages might be "bounced" and not be distributed to the list. The Majordomo will not transmit a message in excess of 10k. For this reason, UUENCODED files are inappropriate and lengthy quotes are discouraged. If you do decide to send a very long post, you may need to break it into multiple parts. The Majordomo will also bounce a message with an address field longer than about 2k. Occasionally messages come along to which CAP-PAO is only one of a gazillion addressees. Since CAP-PAO already goes to a lengthy list of subscribers, it is generally not appropriate to include it with a long list of other addressees. Please consider carefully before you send a message or a reply to more than one CAP-???? list. Many people who subscribe to multiple lists find this objectionable. Send your message to the one most relevant list, please. Copyright When messages submitted to the CAP-PAO listserv are distributed to subscribers, they are "published," as defined by relevant law and legal court cases because they are "fixed in a tangible means of expression." It is the policy of CAP-PAO that the original author retains copyright to the original text of the body of the message, however by submitting the message to CAP-PAO, the author grants the list owner, or designee, the right to edit, distribute, or reject the content of the submitted message.
