That means anything that you write and send directly to <a href="mailto:semco@whoi.edu" class="">semco@whoi.edu</a> is going to all 1,059 people who have signed up for the list. It does not require a request to send it to followers - you’ve already done it! Please keep this in mind as you draft messages, notices, etc. to avoid the release of extraneous, or potential unwanted info.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you have administrative questions, or want to check if something did or did not go out, please email me directly <a href="mailto:jbrodeur@whoi.edu" class="">jbrodeur@whoi.edu</a> and/or <a href="mailto:listmgr@whoi.edu" class="">listmgr@whoi.edu</a>. The membership management tool I have is robust.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As a reminder, the general SEMCO homepage (<a href="http://mailman.whoi.edu/mailman/listinfo/semco" class="">http://mailman.whoi.edu/mailman/listinfo/semco</a>) has details on signing up, removing yourself, receiving messages in a daily digest, etc.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Additionally, we wanted to let the entire list know that we are in the process of working with the WHOI legal office to draft specific guidelines, etiquette and acceptable use policy. This is not an attempt to introduce prior restraint or become more active in filtering information dissemination, just to put a framework around it that does not currently exist and should. If you have any thoughts, suggestions or comments on that process, or what you feel should or should not be included, feel free to contact me via email.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks again for making SEMCO a viable, valuable and vibrant tool!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regards,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jeffrey</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span style="color: rgb(62, 48, 253); orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; font-style: italic; font-family: Georgia;" class="">Jeffrey M.
