Just CC&P this letter to send to the list as a Notice to All Members, about once a week or two.

Notice For All Members: We have a great group here at 00HELP. But we've lost track of our ultimate goal which is to help webtv users learn how to build sigs and webpages. We've had too many off topic posts, and not enough questions from our newbies. We all enjoy a good laugh from time to time, and the graphics sites are great. But that's quickly becoming the main thing we do on 00HELP. We don't want that. We want to get back to helping people learn all about their webtv's. So we have a couple of requests for you, our members.     Limit the off topic posts you send in to only a couple a day. If you send in a site for the list members to see, make sure you have the URL of that page in the message area. We have alot of members who cannot view the pages because they don't get the URL from egroups unless it's included in the message. And make sure that you have a subject in the subject line,   Not very many people will take the time to view an UNTITLED or UNKNOWN page. We have far too many posts with mass links in them. People don't have time to view these, plus the fact that alot of these links don't relate to 00HELP and it's ultimate purpose. So when you want to send in more than one link, please limit the number of links per message to 5 or less. The most important thing that we want from our members, is to ask more questions. We have alot of newcomers on 00HELP and we know you have to have questions. So please, feel free to ask them. We are here to help. And don't ever feel like any question is dumb or stupid, because they aren't. We all had to start somewhere, and we all had the same questions that you have now. But you're lucky to have a great group like this to help you thru it all. So ask more questions, and always put the URL and subject in the message. And limit the amount of off topic posts that are sent in. We really do have a great group here, but we've gotten a little off track. We have alot of members who are too shy to ask questions on a list this large, so if we all try and spend more time on HTML and webtv, then we'll be able to help more people. Thank you for your time, and let's go have some fun learning all this great HTML and all the great things we can do with webtv. Thank you, 00HELP Moderators
