each other. In this manner short messages are welcome for any
subject except those described in point 3.e.

Discussion Board. You can however send a notification
through these lists that there is an active discussion on your topic
of choice and invite everyone to participate.
3.c.
We do prefer you take into account the people you intend your message
to be read by, and accordingly send the email to either one of the
groups, to both if you think your message applies to all. In the case
of replies consider sending it to the originator only.
3.d. It is mandatory to state the corresponding "Subject"

sender shall be notified.
3.c.1 Of the subject title. Subject titles
have to describe in as few words as possible the contents of the

messages sent to the yahoo groups accounts:
