To post massages via e-mail or Web-based form, follow the directions below:

• To Post Messages (For subscribers only)
  • Note that ONLY subscribers may post, so please subscribe first before attempting to post. Note also that the Listserver is setup so that subscribers may ONLY post from their subscription e-mail address (i.e., the address from which they initially subscribed). For example, if you are subscribed at work, but not at home, you will ONLY be able to post from your work e-mail address.
  • Send your intended posts to bsang@bigfoot.com.

• Postings must pertain to Environmental Biotechnology, or related topics, and fit into one or more of the following categories:
  • Technical questions/discussions; and/or
  • Announcements of new resources (e.g., technical publications, books, guidance documents, software); announcements of upcoming events (e.g., workshops, conferences, symposia); calls for papers/presenters; and other non-commercial information on resources. (Note that unsubstantiated vendor claims are summarily rejected.)
• Postings must include pertinent subject headers that begin with either "EB:" or "Re: EB:" (e.g., EB: Enhanced Biodegradation of Polyaliphatic Hydrocarbons) and the full name and e-mail address of the sender must be included in the body of the post.
• Never attach electronic files or HTML documents to posts. Also, make certain the entire post is a plain text document and is not encoded.
• When replying to a post, include only the pertinent section(s) from the post to which you are responding (e.g., do not include the Listserver administrative footer from the original post).
• NEVER send administrative requests (e.g., "unsubscribe me" requests) of any kind to the mailing list as they will be rejected and the requested action not taken. Instead, refer to the EB Home Page ("Membership Info" page) for information.
• Only send your message once to the Listserver. You can always know if a message was accepted if you receive it back from the Listserver in the same manner receive any other post.
• Because software packages are of general interest, some flexibility is extended to software developers for announcing new products upon the condition their posts are: 1) informative, 2) non-commercial in content, and 3) infrequent. Providing such announcements stay within these bounds, and meet the other established guidelines, they will likely be accepted.
• IF YOUR POST WAS NOT ACCEPTED, IT IS LIKELY IT DID NOT COMPLY WITH AT LEAST ONE OF THE ABOVE GUIDELINES. BEFORE SENDING A COMPLAINT TO THE MODERATOR, PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW THE GUIDELINES TO MAKE SURE YOUR POST FULLY COMPLIES.
• Note that the EB discussion group moderator may make minor, non-substantive revisions to posts to bring them into compliance with posting guidelines.
• Note that EB reserves the right to terminate the membership of those attempting to post off-subject messages or using inappropriate netiquette.
