Dear Group,

WHAT IS ARTSHOW_PHOTO
This is an online discussion list for anyone interested in selling photography at art shows. Topics covered can be anything that relates to the taking of photographs, matting and framing, display presentation and selling tips. There are no restrictions on topics so use your own discretion.
----------------------------------------------------------
DISCUSSION RULES (POSTING DOs & DON'Ts)
* SUBJECT MATTER: All posts should be related to the subject matter of this list, i.e., any topic related to the process of photography, creating, printing, or marketing at art shows. Advertisement of related equipment is also acceptable.
* When replying, please edit your messages properly. This means eliminating extraneous material (headers, footers, signature lines, etc.). DO NOT use excessive quoting, which means do not include the entire original message (if long) in your reply to the group. If you must refer to something to make your response clear, then cut and paste only that which is necessary and relevant; DELETE anything else you are not specifically responding to. Conversely, keep SOME remnant of what you are responding to for clarity.
* Always create or repeat an appropriate title in the subject header. If possible, try to repeat the same subject line if the topic is the same. This helps people scan for messages in the list's archives. If the subject shifts or changes, change the subject line to reflect the new topic.
***NOTE: If you're on Digest mode, do not reply without creating a new or repeating subject line.*** Otherwise, your reply will be headed: "Digest Number XYZ." IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU NEVER EVER return an entire digest back to the list by simply hitting the "Reply" button. This is a major faux pas. You must select and cut out the specific post within the digest that you are responding to. Posts that contain entire digests will be deleted as we only have so much space for the forum on Yahoo groups.
* Try to keep your comments concise and to the point. If posting a long message, use a warning at the top of the message or in the subject line.
* Conversely, do not post one line "thank you" messages. Send them privately to the person you're thanking. Try to add something to the discussion.
* Please identify yourself and use a signature on all posts. (But don't write a novel; keep sigs short and sweet -- 4 lines max.)
* If you're planning to be away from your computer or out of your office for an extended period, and you are using an auto-responder, PLEASE set your list options to "no mail" before going away. This will prevent the list from being inundated with your auto-reply messages again and again.
* If you use a permission-based e-mail system or "white list," please configure it to accept list messages.
* Personal attacks, "flaming" (insulting), foul language, messages intended to mock or intimidate are UNACCEPTABLE for this list. Let's keep the discussion civil and friendly.
* Political or religious statements are also inappropriate for this forum.
* Be aware of the Terms of Service (TOS) of Yahoo!Groups with regard to copyright and ownership of all posted material. IMPORTANT NOTE: In connection with this group, you may *NOT* post, e-mail, transmit or otherwise make available any content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights of any party.
* Please limit "cross-posting" (post the same message simultaneously to multiple groups). It confuses people and invalidates the time and effort they may go to in responding. You can always refer to other lists (or any other on-topic subject), of course, but, as a courtesy to all, try to keep messages and responses here focused on THIS list. (Announcements are slightly different; use your best judgment and try to tailor the message to this group's interests.)
A NOTE ABOUT LIST ENFORCEMENT
You will be warned publicly or privately for inappropriate behavior as outlined above. Subsequent violations will result in your being put on moderated status, unsubscribed from the list, and/or banned from rejoining the list.
