(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.
