Hello. As LACTNET has made its debut and has grown exponentially in the past
month, we, the co owners, are ver pleased, and hope that everyone is
enjoying the interplays that are occuring,  Periodically, we will be
finetuning our LACTNET welcome message and Netiquette guidelines, in order
to ensure smooth functioning. The following statement will be added to the
automatically-generated computer message that is sent when a new subscriber
joins LACTNET. We share it with you for your own information, and we hope
that everyone understands that it is just information, NOT  a reprimand to
anyone.  We are careful because we are responsible.

Thanks, and keep the good information coming!!! NOTE:  As of Saturday, the
logs (retrievable files of comments made here on LACTNET) for  LACTNET will
be available on a WEEKLY basis, instead of monthly.  If you go away, and
miss something because you set yourself NOMAIL, then you can request the log
for the weeks you are away.

PRODUCT/SERVICE NOTE:
If you have used a product, book,  or service (regardless of what it is) and
wish
to inform others about it, you may do so, but please do not share prices of
obtaining same in public messages on LACTNET. This smacks of SELLING, and
LACTNET is *not* the appropriate  place for this. To do so places the person
posting such information and the server (in this case, LACTNET) and the
owners  in a  potentially litigious position.  None of us wants to have to
answer to an irate  attorney and his/her/its client, so please note.
Sharing information is wonderder; sharing prices is not.
**********************************************************************
One example:
"I just loved/hated  Product A because....
If you wish information about it, write to [give address for this purpose].>"
The above is acceptable, as long as you  do not post price or rental fees of
equipment, curricula, or other material for sale/rent.

QUOTING NOTES FROM LACTNET
Occasionally you may see something that someone has posted
to LACTNET that you may wish to share in some other context, such as in
hardcopy in a newsletter, etc.  To do so, please remember that what you
post on LACTNET has the effect of being placed on the front page of the NY
Times. This means you MUST secure written (via e-mail or hard copy)
permission of the original poster of the message in order to share it in
some other context.  This is both polite and enables you to credit the
originator of the message.  We, the co-owners of LACTNET, cannot enforce
this, but we expect that you all will honor this official announcement and
recommendation.  Thank you.
