I agree with Prof. Halporn's suggestion to move excessively long and
"peripheral" entries to the LISTSERV. In this I would include the war
diaries. I do read them, and find them informative and disturbing, but
they are really not at all related to the original intention of this
list, a discussion of the use of computing in the humanities. There
have been several lists developed recently for discussion of the war,
and perhaps they are a more appropriate forum for Lakoff and Kessler and
the like. My fear is that by continuing lenghty discussions of the war
on HUMANIST, we will lose sight of the fact that, even in this tragic
time, life and learning and scholarship go on--and must go on.

I recall a previous discussion in which advertising appeared to have
been classified as not appropriate for distribution on HUMANIST.
Has this changed?

Today the NY Times had an article that discussed how the FTC was angry
at HAM operators who were using computers for commercial purposes.
Doesn't HUMANIST fear it may be open to similar complaints if it
persists in sending out messages like that from the National
Conference on Computing and Values?
Really this has to stop. Is there some problem that prevents the
editors from editing this stuff or, as I previously suggested, moving
it to the LISTSERVer?

Subject: Policies
New statements of policies on commercial postings, copyright, and
mail distribution v. fileserver storage, and appropriate content
will be posted soon. They will still be very much in the spirit
of the the statements in the HUMANIST GUIDE and will reflect the
the discussions of these issues that have occurred on Humanist
over the last 4 years. Humanist veterans of the spring of 1988
know that we can be sure on one thing: not everyone will be pleased.
