With digest mode, you will receive an E-mail message in the
standard digest format containing the last 50K of messages posted to Derby.
Reflected mode sends out each message separately
as it arrives at the derby list. New additions are in digest format by default but you
may request to be put in reflected mode.
The list consists of over 1500 mailing addresses and a typical day can include over 40 posted
messages which total 60-100K. Request reflected mode at your own
peril as getting up to 3 or 4 email messages an hour can be quite distracting!
WARNING
Posting of copyrighted material, such as information from Bloodstock
Information Services, Equine Line, or ClariNet (the clari.* newsgroups) is
strictly prohibited. Anyone violating this policy will be immediately
removed from the list.
PLEASE USE THE PROPER ADDRESS!! If you send administrative requests (such
as removal from the list, mode change, change of address, etc.) to the
list, there is NO GUARANTEE your request will be processed. DO NOT
unsubscribe by mailing to derby; I may not see it. TO UNSUBSCRIBE, send a
message to
owner-derby@imagicomm.com.
I will try to process most requests
within 48 hours; if you need immediate attention, indicate urgency in the
E-mail subject.
Some mail programs have broken "reply" commands and will address a reply to
"owner-derby@imagicomm.com" instead of the actual writer of the message, listed
in the "From:" header line. It's always a good idea to verify that your
mailer's idea of a "reply" is the same as yours!
You should not get any bounced mail messages when posting to derby unless you are on a server blocked for excessive spam. If you do get a bounce, please forward it to me.
Web Site
I created amd maintain Horse-Races.Netwhich has articles, photographs, stats, and links to just about anything you are looking for about racing. Please check there if you are looking for entries, results, or other horse racing information.
Independent and Private
The Derby List is once again independent and private and does not have to abide
by the rules of the University of Kentucky. Advertisements are not forbidden as
an occasional occurence, but continuous posting of advertisements will get you removed
from the list. Please note that I hate spammers and my definition of repeated posts is probably much more stringent than most.
The derby list is not affiliated with, nor is it a service of, Prodigy,
Compuserve, Delphi, America On Line, or any other commercial computer service
provider. If you are receiving the derby list on one of the commercial
providers, you should not be charged any premium over and above the normal
electronic mail message charge (if any).
Posting Guidelines
The derby list is not moderated. However, posting to the list is not a right, it is a privilege which comes with some rules attached:
Material protected by copyright should not be posted to the list, and
the list should not be used as a means to illegally exchange such
material. ClariNet articles (i.e., the clari.* newsgroups) are
protected by copyright and must not be posted to the list. If you want
ClariNet at your site, write to info@clarinet.com. Information
downloaded from the Bloodstock Research Information Services (BRIS)
computer is protected by copyright. These people do monitor the list and have
been known to take action against violations.
Excerpts of an article or book, so long as proper attribution is given,
are OK; and a brief extract of something downloaded from Bloodstock is
OK, but using the list to distribute data downloaded from Bloodstock is
not OK. (For example, do not post the High Tech Handicapper's Report
the night before a race.)
Anyone violating the copyright rule will be immediately removed from the
list.
Personal attacks are frowned upon and severely punished. This list is
for the discussion of horse racing, not for meta-discussions about the
nature and character of previous postings or posters. Violators of this
rule are ex-communicated. This is a hard and fast rule, and strictly
enforced. Flames: just say no.
Subscribers are expected to conform at least minimally to the accepted rules of "netiquette". This includes flaming as mentioned above, forwarding of private posts to the list without permission of the original sender, and excessive profanity/pornographic references.
Anytime you feels that something inappropriate has been posted to the
list, send a note to
owner-derby@imagicomm.com, please do not send a note to the entire list.
Derby list is provided free of charge as a service to Internet horse racing
fans. The derby list may not be redistributed for profit. The derby list is
Copyright 2002 Cindy Pierson. All rights reserved.
(This is simply to protect against someone else attempting to make money
off of the derby list.)
