Welcome Message to BN-basic at Blavatsky Net http://www.blavatsky.net

You are receiving this message because your membership record at Blavatsky Net is checked yes for BN-basic. If you wish to UNSUBSCRIBE please see instructions below.

The purpose of this list is to study the writings of H.P. Blavatsky. We would like to encourage newer students to feel free to ask questions - even basic ones. And we hope the newcomers will not be too discouraged if the old-timers tackle a challenging point here and there.

This discussion list is structured as a topic-oriented study class. The current course schedule can be found at syllabus.

The list will be moderated. We require only that the tone be kept civil and decent, courteous to others, and respectful of Madame Blavatsky. The results will be archived and will be searchable by key words, by writer, by date, or by discussion thread.

There are four levels of participation available: Mail - you receive all email as it occurs on the list; Digest - in one email per day, you receive all discussion that occurred the previous day; Index - in one email per day, you recieve the subject headings of all discussion that occurred the previous day with a convenient way to retrieve any single message; Nomail - you receive nothing in the mail, but like the other participants, you can visit the archives and search over past discussions.

Hopefully, the archives will create a very interesting study tool for those following in our foot steps. But don't let that intimidate you. If anything please be encouraged to ask questions so that the discussion may help everyone.

POLICIES

1. For the overall quality of the list, the software imposes the following limits (and sends a message if you exceed them):
a) No more than 3 messages per day per person.
b) Messages must not exceed 30K bytes.

2. Please do not send attachments for technical reasons and because we don't all have the same word processors.

3. Please choose good subject headers - to help make the archive files more useful.

4. To provide focus, we prefer staying on the topic of the week - or, for continuity of subject, continuing a "thread" of discussion that has already started.

Thanks for your cooperation.
