Welcome to the Culture List, a mailing list nominally dedicated to the dicussion of the works of Iain (M) Banks, but in practice dedicated to the discussion of whatever we feel like at the time. The volume of this list is high. By high we mean that upward of 100 posts on a weekday is common and days with up to 300 posts are not unheard of. Weekends are a bit quieter.

• List address: culture@busstop.org
• Admin address: listmanager@busstop.org

To unsubscribe send an email to listmanager@busstop.org with UNSUBSCRIBE CULTURE in the body. Sending emails to the list address asking to unsubscribe will not achieve anything, except maybe getting you teased. :-)

Occassionally busstop dies, so there is a backup list on Yahoo Groups called elench. To subscribe send a mail to elench-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Matters of etiquette: When replying, please include those parts of the message you're replying to that allow your point to be understood, but do try and trim the quotes to a reasonable degree - pages of quoted material means you stand a fair chance of not being read.

Please reply *below* the message you're responding to, and indicate the author of the message you're responding to. Also, please don't send HTML, or attachments - provide a URL instead, or ask if someone else can put the thing you want people to see up somewhere.

Oh - and have fun. :-) That's the most important bit.
