Because all list postings go to hundreds of people, with a wide range
of interests and computing capabilities, we ask that you try to follow
these simple guidelines for companies on the Team.Net mailing lists.
The main purpose of the Team.Net Mailing lists archives, and web pages
are to discuss and share information about British cars or Auto-x,
racing, and related people, events, parts sources, technical info, etc.
Participation and contribution of related businesses and their
employees in these discussions is quite welcome and valued.
Beyond casual comments within ongoing discussions or occasional
mention external services, if a company wants to do business on the
net, they should not use these lists, but find other means to do so.
Many readers do not want to see commercial advertisements on the
mailing lists, and will react negativly to such "electronic junk mail".
Republishing or using postings from a list or archive for commercial
purposes without permission of the author(s) may be a violation of
various copyrights, and is generally frowned upon. Most authors are
happy to provide permission to have specific postings published as
long as they are asked.
Credit and Copyright Information
There are several ways a company can easily provide and get valuable
and useful services on the network, without adversely impacting or
affecting operation the mailing lists. Some can be done from any E-
mail system, while more advanced services require more advanced
computer resources. Some examples:
Send direct E-Mail to someone you think may be interested in your
product or service.
Maintain your own electronic distribution list (one-way) for mailings
to interested parties. (Just like paper mail, only faster, and
interactive).
Create your own e-mail discussion list, on your own, or hired computer
equipment,
Offer electronic services, such as parts and pricing lists on a file
server; or World Wide Web server, electronic ordering; or paid
consulting via private E-Mail.
The list can also be an excellent source for a company to get feedback
about such things as parts quality, authenticity and other technical
issues.
Access on-line file servers with archives of past discussions, parts &
technical information, graphics images, and more.
