but would like to see this list kept open for some advertising, but it should be
brief and to the point. When my company, Juniper GIS, offers classes, I think
this is useful information and a service to members, but I purposely keep it
brief with a link to more information, and rarely advertise the same offering
twice. And I think that the subject line should be very explicit about the
email, so people can easily decide when to use the Delete
key.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">While I share Ian’s concern that
the listserve not become an advertising channel for who-knows-what, the
“purpose” statement does not specifically preclude that usage. Perhaps we could
underscore the “within the State of Oregon” phrase, but that would effectively
cut-off announcements about activities in Washington that I find quite valuable.
Here is the entire purpose statement:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">“The purpose of this list is to
provide a forum for discussion about GIS and spatial data related activities
within the State of Oregon. Potential topics include notices of current GIS
activities, requests about the availability of datasets, questions about
technical problems with GIS systems or software, requests for advice from those
who have gone before you, and so forth.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">If we want to eliminate
announcements about activities that are extra-regional, perhaps some explicit
guidance about that should be included in the purpose description for the list.
I have explicitly cc’d the list administrators on this
email.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Please feel free to discuss. I
think this is an important change that should not be undertaken based on one
comment. I have made liberal use of the “delete” key in the past related to this
issue… </SPAN><SPAN
