wish."

>> Division and STYLIST members:
>> RE: What is allowable to be posted to STYLIST
>>
>> as the President of the Division I have made a decision on what types
>> of writing samples will be allowed to be posted to STYLIST for
>> critique. This decision has come about after reading all messages
>> relating to members who were good enough to post their feelings. I
>> have also consulted the NFB webmaster to get his perspective on rules
>> that he is aware of , that you and I have not had to know of, until
>> now.
>>
>> Thus, based upon the general consensus of STYLIST members, and on the
>> NFB webmaster's  answer that there is not a specific ruling against
>> allowing the posting of the type of content we have been debating, and
>> because this Division and this forum is one of our major conduits for
>> seeking one another's assistance to improve our craft, it is hereby
>> ruled that members of this list can feel free to now post samplings of
>> any type of their work for helpful critique. the only requirement is
>> that you place a warning that the message contains adult content.
