our "new" service!

First! Ray Cromwell (rjc@gnu.ai.mit.edu) is a true Extropian hero.

Acting in his own self interest he has hacked together a working
version of an Extropian digest. Of course all of us will benefit.

		Three cheers for Ray!

1) The main list is and will remain operating as a real time
reflector.

2) Add and drop requests from the "real-time" list should be
as always, made to: 	Extropian-request@gnu.ai.mit.edu

3) Add and drop requests for the Digest must be made to:
			exi-daily-request@gnu.ai.mit.edu

4) If you wish to add one list and drop the other, requests must be
made to Both addresses, as both lists are maintained in separate files
and I do not compare them, nor do I alway maintain them at the same
time. Also, some "beings" have indicated they would like to get both!


			How does it work?

   Mail comes into FSF (gnu) and is processed by a perl script
written by Perry. Each piece of mail is sent to everyone on
the real-time list and a single copy is passed to Ray's code.
   Ray's code is also a perl script which stores the message;
when the file gets to be >45K an other perl script is
called and it formats the "digest." This digested version
is mailed to each person on the digest list.
   Digested messages contain the x-Extropian date of when
they are sent and contain a "serial number" which is incremented
every time a digest is sent out.


			How are replies handled?

Replies to the digested version of the list are set, in the reply-to
field, to the real time list. Anyone responding to the digest and who
quotes the entire digest or a large part of it will be removed from
the list without further notice. 

Remember, quote as little as possible.


			How about the rules

Legally speaking it is the same list and the same rules apply!


			Will it come once a day?

*No!* In respect to both old out dated mailers still on the net and
the disk-space at FSF (It doesn't stand for Free Storage Foundation),
we mail out the digest whenever the collected messages get to be
greater than 45 kilo bytes. In practice that means each digest will be
about 50k and will be sent on average of 1 to 3 times a day; depending
on the bandwidth of the list. It is possible on a very busy day you
could get more than three messages, esp. if there are lots of long
posts.

			Send in your requests!

Ok we are ready for your requests although you will not be added until
sat. Send them to, as indicated: exi-daily-request@gnu.ai.mit.edu

Remember to send a separate request to:
Extropians-request@gnu.ai.mit.edu if you wish to drop the real time
list.
