ANNELIDA on BIOSCI-SERVER at NET.BIO.NET - Annelid Worm Research
ANNELIDA is an open moderated list discussing the scientific study of
Phylum Annelida and of other worms with annelid affinities, encompassing
the polychaetes, the clitellates (oligochaetes and leeches), the
pogonophora, vestimentifera, sipunculans, and echiurids.

You will receive back an introductory message that will further explain
how ANNELIDA operates.

Take time to think of a good subject header that describes the topic
clearly and precisely but never cryptically. Busy people just don't read
messages vaguely titled 'request' or 'web problem' or 'AVTOC
announces XBZTO.' As in a scientific paper if the subject header includes
a taxonomic name it probably will be useful to add the family name as
well.
Sign your message with your name and e-mail address at the end of the
text, not only because it is polite and helpful to others, but also
because you will get more replies if you do.
Send list messages in plain text, not as attached files. It irritates
people to take an extra step just to read some routine message. Never
send encoded word-processor files to any internet list. If you do then
prepare to be flamed!
Remember that ANNELIDA messages can take many hours to reach all members.
The list software sends out messages one-by-one. Also the server can
sometimes be overloaded or temporarily offline. There will be additional
delays (especially between 1100 and 1900 gmt) while the moderator is not
online.
If you have WWW access you can view archives of past messages and
also check if your message has been released.

ANNELIDA is moderated mainly so that junk mail (broadcast net advertising
or 'spam'), misdirected personal messages, and abusive messages are not
forwarded to everybody on the list. Well-meant but off-topic mail might
be forwarded, but at the discretion of the moderator. Confusing,
poorly-formatted, or unsigned messages may be summarily 'improved' or
returned to sender for redrafting. (In fact to the relief of the
moderator it is rarely necessary for any intervention). Policy enquiries
should be addressed to:
ANNELIDA Moderator: Geoff Read <gread at actrix.gen.nz> <g.read at niwa.cri.nz>
More information on Annelid (polychaetes, etc) research resources is at:

These web pages are independent of ANNELIDA mailing list (except
that ANNELIDA moderator and Annelid Resources pages maintainer are the
same person at present). Contributions are very welcome. Not only do I not
have all the time and expertise I need to add exciting new material
myself, but also I would like to see the resources pages develop in future
more as a community project.
Polychaete Researchers Online edition six was published on Jan 1st.

Please e-mail me if and when your information needs further updating.
Thank you for your attention, and again best wishes to all for 1997.
