Description
This article is from the AIDS FAQ, by Dan Greening with numerous contributions by others.
1.11. If a post is rejected (sci.med.aids)
We reject many articles because of formatting problems, other
mechanical problems, or our own confusion, and those articles can be
revised quickly (by you) and resubmitted.
There are about 73,000 readers of sci.med.aids on USENET
alone. Articles posted here are distributed in many forms. We share
information with AEGIS, an AIDS bulletin-board network. We have a
parallel mailing-list. Some people copy articles from sci.med.aids
and provide them to their local library. Activists have even printed
out articles from sci.med.aids and distributed them to homeless people
with AIDS.
If you have important information, we urge you to spend the time to
revise your article and resubmit: it will be read. On the other hand,
these 73,000 readers are why we are so cautious about posting. Respect
your huge audience by spending the time to write a readable and
informative article. If you carefully investigate and share important
AIDS information through sci.med.aids, you can save lives, make people
a little healthier, or reassure someone. All of these are valuable.
Question 1.12. Discussing sci.med.aids moderation policies.
A separate mailing list, aids-d, has been set up for the moderators
and for people who interested in how sci.med.aids is run. Most
readers will not be interested in aids-d; its purpose is internal
discussion rather than information dissemination, and most articles on
aids-d are examples of what moderation has filtered out. If you want
to subscribe, send email to aids-d-request@sti.com.
