- We are experimenting with putting short "blips" at the beginning of
- subject lines, to assist you in selecting what you want to read and
- what is disintegrated.
-
- Here is our current bliplist:
-
- TECH: Hard technology, codes, software, hardware, etc.
- APPS: Applications of virtual worlds in various domains
- SCI: Scientific issues, like how light refracts, etc.
- CULTURE: Notes on virtual worlds and social phenomena
- PHIL: Deep and profound discussions of virtuality, etc.
- JOB: Just what it says
- EDUC: Having to do with schooling in the field
- CONF: Probably the most overused blip, for conferences
- ADMIN: Items of administrative importance
-
- We are reserving for special occasions the NEWS blip, to announce events
- of special significance: meetings of policy groups, announcements of
- breathtaking technical significance, when virtual worlds vanquish HDTV,
- and so forth.
-
- Held in reserve, also, is a special symbol, the Awestruck Smiley:

- The Moderators may use this to indicate items of special or unusual
- interest and/or quality. However, as posters can implant this device
- of their own accord, please take it with a grain of salt. There is no
- warranty for good taste.
-
- Thanks, and let's see how this works out!
