There are a few basic rules I would like to have everyone follow to maintain harmony on the list. While these involve common courtesy I will state them for the record. Offenders will be immediately removed from the list at my sole discretion.

1. Please avoid any foul language on the list.
2. Please do not spam the list with overty commercial messages.
3. Please do not downgrade any other human being.
4. Help WMSHP moderate this list by contacting the List owner at wmshpgroups@googlegroups.com in regards to anything that you find especially offensive.
5. Remember that this is a public forum and individual person to person communications should generally be avoided if it is not of interest to all members of the list..

To Post a message to the list, send an e-mail to: wmshpgroups@googlegroups.com

Yes, there are a couple ways in which posting frequency is limited. One limit is the number of messages posted to any single group within a short period of time. We also limit the number of messages a single user or computer can post via our website in a short period of time.
If you reach the first limit, your posting ability will be frozen and you'll be notified via email. The email will look something like this message:
Your message could not be posted to the [groupname] group because there have been too many messages posted to the group recently.
If you run into the second limit, you'll see a notification directly on the Groups interface.
Please note that we're unable to provide the exact numbers that trigger these posting limits as they are something we manipulate for spam fighting purposes.
