(a) DON'T respond from the digest -- i.e. don't try to use the
"reply" e-mail function on a digest; what that does is to make the
subject-header read "Re: B-Greek Digest #####" and our list-software
is programmed to reject or send to an administrator messages with
such a subject-header; rather start a new message and address it
to <B-Greek at lists.ibiblio.org>
(b) Pick a subject-header that succinctly indicates what you're
discussing.
(c) Make sure that your message, once completed, has a signature
including at least a first name and a last name.
(d) Some list-members use the Koine ERRWSQE (2 pl. pf. imperative of
hRWNNUMI, "be strong" = Latin VALETE) as a valedictory phrase. You
may do so if you please, but the signature is all that is required fo
satisfy the requirements of the list's protocol.
