Posting Guidelines

This is a free flowing discussion among the participants. The sponsors assume no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any posting.

Please feel free to read the list without posting. Many newcomers feel more comfortable "lurking" until they get a feel for the group. However, the community is best served when you contribute your thoughts to topics about which you are well-informed.

This discussion group exists to promote communication between people interested in environmentally responsible design and construction. Please be sure to keep the discussion within the bounds of that topic. If a thread of discussion strays off topic, you may be asked to move the discussion to private e-mail or to a more appropriate forum.

Please identify yourself with your real name and an e-mail address.

Please respond directly to the author of a post, and NOT to the list as a whole unless your response is likely to be of interest to others.

The Green Building Discussion Group welcomes announcements about products, events, web sites and other information resources that have a direct bearing on sustainable building design and construction. Announcements should be _brief_ and contain a URL or email address where more information may be obtained. Announcements should be identified in the subject line of the message with words such as Announcement, Event, Product, Web Site, etc. Please avoid overly promotional or advertorial postings.

If you're using the digest mode, be sure to insert the subject to which you're responding. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY. Using the reply function of your email software will generally copy the digest subject, not the subject of the specific message.

Please quote only the relevant passage(s) from a message to which you're responding. Long quotes waste the reader's time and Internet's bandwidth. Message length is limited by the server -- long messages will not be posted.

Avoid overly promotional or advertorial postings.

Please direct any comments or suggestions about these guidelines or other logistics concerning the list to the moderators (greenbuilding-request@listserv.repp.org), NOT to the list as a whole. We will periodically review comments and update user guidelines as needed.

Please direct any complaints about the appropriateness of a particular posting to the person individually, with a CC to the moderators. Do not post these complaints to the list.
