to
get news.*

______________________________________________________
POSTING
1) Please address all posts for the list to:
Joefiennes-News@eGroups.com
When you reply to a post, the address for the individual who's
post you are responding to will automatically come up. The list
is set up this way as a precaution against accidently sending
personal messages to the list. If you want your message to go
to the list, you must change the address to Joefiennes-News@egroups.com
.
No other address is necessary for a post to go to the list
or anyone on it.
2) When replying to a post, please make sure that the subject
header
of your post reflects its content, even if you have to add to
the
original header of the post you are replying to.
3) When replying to a post, please try to quote back only the
part
that is relevant to your post. Digest members, please do not quote
back an entire digest.
4) When discussing the ending or plot twists of a very recent
movie
or the results of an awards show that is going on as you speak,
please include spoiler warnings in the subject header and at the
relevant parts of your post for anyone who hasn't seen yet and
may
not want to know such details.
5) DO NOT send pictures or attachments to the list. They don't
work and have been known to cause some programs to crash. If you
have something that you'd like to share, you can offer it on the
list and ask those who want it to e-mail you privately, or upload
it at http://www.egroups.com/files/joefiennes-news/
6) When posting an article, please acknowledge the source and
the
author, if available.
The Fiennes lists and archives are available to subscribers only.
As a courtesy to fellow list members, we ask that posts to the
lists not be re-posted or forwarded without the consent of the
person(s) who originally posted, and the appropriate credit(s)
given/sources cited.
Depending on how busy the server is, your message may appear
immediately, or it could take almost a day. Most often, it will
appear within a few minutes of you sending it. Sometimes the
list is down and you won't receive mail for a day or two. In the
event this should happen, *please do not send "test"
messages to
the list.* If you think there might be a problem, please send
your
questions or comments to LYNN (ivanovbabe@hotmail.com), or one
of
the co-hosts listed at the end of this letter.
If your mail is bouncing/undeliverable, we will have to remove
your address from the list. These problems can be caused by many
things, such as a problem with your e-mail account, your server,
a full mail box, etc. Please remember, since the problem is that
you cannot get mail anyway, *we cannot send you any notification
that your mail is bouncing or that we will be unsubbing you*.
We
know that things like server problems often happen without advance
warning. When the problem is cleared up, you are welcome to resubscribe.
Note to AOL subscribers: AOL's mailboxes can not hold as much
un-read mail as most other providers, so at busy times, you may
want to collect your mail more frequently, or switch to the digest
format.

SUBJECT MATTER
This list is for information on and discussion of Joseph Fiennes.
If there is something you would like to see discussed please feel
free to start the ball rolling by contributing. We try to keep
posts
on-topic as much as possible, but that does not exclude Joseph-related
subjects, such as family members. The one exception to this is
Joseph's
brother Ralph. As mentioned above, there is a mailing list devoted
to
him and we like to defer any news or conversation about Ralph
to the
Ralph Fiennes lists.
Try to be respectful of each other and our subject matter at all
times. Since mail sent to the list goes directly to the mailboxes
of 100+ people, this is especially important. Please do not clutter
up others mailboxes with posts intended for one person, "Ditto!"
or
"Me too!" messages, numerous one liners, forwards that
are not topical
(eg. virus warnings, cookie recipes, Internet humor, etc.) or
SPAM.
This list is also not a forum for nasty comments, wild speculation,
rude innuendo or "flame" of any kind. This does not
mean we can't
report or discuss controversial Joseph-related issues that may
appear
in the press or are common knowledge, or that we have to agree
with
each other all the time, but HOW we treat each other and our subject
matter is most important.
For more information, please read the List Guidelines below.
_______________________________________________________
LIST GUIDELINES/HOUSE RULES
Because this list has growth potential, and mail goes directly
to
members mailboxes, we feel it is necessary to have some rules
and
guidelines that everyone is asked to adhere to. They were developed
(and continue to evolve) based on the collective experiences of
list
owners and members, with the intention of keeping the list true
to its original goals of providing a friendly place for fans to
come together and share information and conversation.
1) Treat each other, and your subject matter (Joseph Fiennes,
as well as his family, colleagues, and relationships) with respect.
There is a "no flaming" policy on this list and we do
not accept
personal attacks on anyone for any reason. Posts that are intentionally
inflammatory, embarrassing, hurtful, or are in poor taste will
not
be tolerated. It is fine to disagree with someone on this list.
It is
fine to not like something about Joseph Fiennes and to say so.
It is
HOW you say it that matters. Please be thoughtful and considerate
at all times, and try not to stray too far off into subjects that
are
not conducive to being discussed on a fan list. For example, discussions
of Shakespeare In Love and Joseph's role in it have been known
to branch
off into lengthy, often heated, discussions about who wrote Shakespeare's
plays, why Joseph didn't get nominated for an Oscar.....and have
resulted
in hurt feelings and harsh words being exchanged in the past.
If you
want to discuss anything about Joseph's movies or his roles, that's
fine,
but please keep in mind that certain issues deserve to be discussed
in-depth and a fan list isn't always the place for it. We urge
everyone
to use some discretion when delving into this or any other very
sensitive
issues on list, especially if they are not directly Joseph-related.
There are many other outlets for this kind of discussion and we
encourage
anyone who is so inclined to make themselves heard in those venues.
2) Derogatory remarks, insinuations or "jokes" that
insult, demean or
stereotype an individual or group will not be tolerated on this
list.
This includes (but is not limited to) comments about religion,
race,
age and sexual orientation. Anyone who ignores this policy will
be
immediately removed from the list.
3) If you see a post come through that you feel is insulting or
intended
to provoke, please do NOT respond to it by insulting the author
or
prolonging the topic on the list. In addition to repeating the
offensive
posts over and over, your comments may not even be seen by the
intended
recipient if they have already been removed from the list. If
you find
a post particularly offensive, you can write the person privately
and/or
forward it to LYNN or one of the co-hosts listed at the end of
this letter.
Chances are we have seen it and have dealt with it already, but
your
comments and input are most welcome. Also, if you feel a list
member
is "flaming" you off list (ie. an explicitly personal
attack), feel free
to bring that to our attention as well. It doesn't seem to happen
often,
but on the rare occasion it does it is worth documenting.
4) Please remember that we cannot see your face or hear your tone
of voice
when you post. What might sound funny and sarcastic may not be
seen that
way when plain text comes across someone's computer screen.
5) There is to be no selling of video tapes or other items on
the list by
list members. This list is not a place to conduct regular commerce.
Trading
is allowed and encouraged for items that are not available for
sale in a
person's country. If you are looking for a copy of a film or an
interview,
etc. that is not commercially available where you live, feel free
to send
a post to the list asking if anyone can help you obtain it. We
respect the
copyright laws and the rights of the people involved in making
films. Therefore, if you are in the USA or Canada, please do not
ask someone on list to dub a copy of, say, "Stealing Beauty"
or offer it in return for a trade, since you can readily buy it
in any video store. If you cannot work out a trade, it is customary
to compensate the person for their expenses, such as postage and
packaging, blank tapes, etc.
If someone is selling their collection, or can pick up extra magazines,
souvenirs, etc. at the regular price as a favor, we appreciate
your generosity and welcome that information on the list.
Many of our members are willing to help out other fans in their
quests for
all things Joseph-related! However, responses to such requests,
and any
subsequent correspondence should take place in private e-mail
so that
other people don't have to read about whatever arrangements you
make.
Also keep in mind that while most of our members are honest and
will follow
through with their end of the agreement, the list and those who
run it can
not be responsible if someone "disappears." However,
please let us know if
a trade has gone bad so it can be documented and we can warn others
about
dealing with the person if need be.
6) If you disagree with any of the above guidelines, we respect
that but
we must ask that you abide by them anyway as long as you are on
the list.
We believe in freedom of speech, but this IS a privately operated
list and
posts to it do go directly to members mailboxes. As such we feel
it is not
unreasonable to ask everyone to adhere to the list guidelines
as set by the
persons responsible for maintaining it. Please know that *no one*
will ever
be unsubbed for an honest mistake(s), or without being notified.
And last but certainly not least...
7) Have fun! We really hope the list will provide you and everyone
on
it with an enjoyable, informative place to discuss and learn more
about
Joseph Fiennes. If have any questions or suggestions about these
guidelines,
please refer them to LYNN (ivanovbabe@hotmail.com) or one of the
co-hosts
listed below. We value your input.
