If you have any concerns about the appropriateness of material posted to
APO-L, please contact me directly and don't add to the clutter on the list.
All of my contact info is at the bottom of this message. If something is
clearly inappropriate, I've probably dealt with/am dealing with it so you
don't need to point it out.

And a quick summary of the current issues:

Scout sales mailings: Inappropriate. I've asked them to remove apo-l from
the list. If they don't in the next day or so, I'll work out the
configuration changes necessary to block their posts.

Confirmed virus warnings about *NEW* threats: Appropriate. This falls into
the catagory of service to the brothers and should always be well documented
before you post. Some of these things are rather nasty and spread quickly.
Losing your thesis or your chapter's ledgers is no fun.

Questions about how viruses work or other technical questions: Not
appropriate. There are plently of lists and web sites that provide
information about viruses or most other technical subjects. In any case,
there really is no inherent reason to believe that the people on APO-L are
any more equipped to answer the question correctly than someone you decide
to stop on the street.

[And this may be a good time to remind you that the last sentence also
applies to formal statements of APO policy. This is in unofficial and things
posted on the list are not guarenteed to accurately reflect the policies of
Alpha Phi Omega, National Service Fraternity. If you need a definative
answer on something, contact your Sectional Chair, Regional Director, other
National Board members, or National Office as appropriate to your question.]
