This is actually the root behind my statement "there are too many orgs", I should clarify: >> It would seem, from this writer's defensive posture, (calling my ideas petty...) that it bothers them deeply that only WTF/USTU are officially recognized organizations. However, let us look at reality. Aside from the competitive advantages that status holds, it is imperative to note that the USTU is a non-for-profit organization whose sole purpose is development of American taekwondo. To my knowledge, every other federation out there (ATA, USTSDA, USTSDF, WTSDF, USNTF, Chung Moo Doe, Kim's Karate, ..., etc.) are corporations established with the primary purpose being the financial enrichment of its "grandmaster." I know, this is America; Land of Opportunity where, profit is king. And I don't hold the desire to profit against anyone who wishes to do it honorably. But one simply cannot compare any of these private organizations with an NGB such as the USTU, where its founders, and present officers, hold their positions and do their work on a voluntary basis. They are incomparable. If that seems petty to anyone, so be it. In my opinion "tolerance" and "understanding" are splendid concepts. Unfortunately we are often expected to tolerate myths, and be understanding of untruths. To someone grounded in reality (petty or not) this is, well, intolerable. I commend anyone who promotes a good martial art program, however, I stand by my comments about the USTU being THE ORGANIZATION even if it causes offense to those who choose to cling to their "grandmaster's" brand of martial art.

I think this should be either not-for-profit or non-profit. I believe that these are two different classifications under the tax laws. Do you know which the USTU is? Just curious.

Now what do I do? A: Just sit back and watch the messages fly by for awhile. You'll soon figure out how things work on your own. It is recommended that your read the list for about a month prior to posting to the list. Q: I don't know how to send or receive e-mail. How do I learn? A: You are expected to well understand e-mail sending and receiving if you are a member of this list. Sorry, but please unsubscribe from the list and rejoin us once you've learned. You should be able to learn about sending and receiving e-mail through various courses, books, or from your Internet Service Provider. Q: How do I unsubscribe from this stupid distribution list? A: In e-mail addressed to "majordomo@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com" send the command "unsubscribe listname". (no quotes, listname = the name of the distribution list that you are on) All commands sent to Majordomo must appear in the body of the message, not the "Subject:" line or the "Re:" line. The full/complete syntax of the unsubscribe command is "unsubscribe listname youraddr@domain.name". Your e-mail address (i.e. youraddr@domain.name in the previous example) is obtained from the header in the e-mail you sent to Majorodmo. If you are attempting to unsub a different/old e-mail address make sure you specify that address in your unsubscribe command. The unsubscribe command must be on the first line of the e-mail, left justified, not in HTML, not in base64 encoding, and nothing else in the e-mail. i.e. a simple plain text e-mail. Q: What type of messages belong on this distribution list (in priority order)? A: For the Eskrima list: - Filipino martial arts - FMA history - Indonesian martial arts - Martial arts - Combat weapons training - Seminar/tourny announcements - Filipino culture For The_Dojang list: - Korean martial arts - Korean martial sports - Korean MA history - Asian martial arts - Martial arts - Seminar/tourny announcements - Korean culture Q: I see things like IMHO, YMMV, CYA, etc in different people's posts. What the heck does that mean? A: See http://faculty.web.waseda.ac.jp/vicky/projects/e-mail/emote.html Q: I sent a post to the list but I never saw it in the digest. What happened? A: There are a few possibilities: - You sent it to the wrong address. Try again. - You are improperly subscribed. The "From:" line in your e-mail header must match exactly the way you subscribed onto the list. Fix the way you are subscribed. - It never arrived on my end. This can happen for a variety of reasons. Resend it. - The list administer felt it was not an appropriate post to send to the list. This could be because it is answered in the FAQ, it does not fit in the above categories, the post wasn't trimmed properly, etc. Resend it again. If it still fails to make it to the digest, try a post on a different topic. Q: What is Majordomo? A: Majordomo is the list server software that keeps the distribution list up and running. The Majordomo software is what is reading the commands sent to the e-mail address majordomo@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com. The following description of Majordomo comes from its author: Majordomo is a program which automates the management of Internet mailing lists. Commands are sent to Majordomo via electronic mail to handle all aspects of list maintenance. Once a list is set up, virtually all operations can be performed remotely, requiring no intervention upon the postmaster of the list site. majordomo - n: a person who speaks, makes arrangements, or takes charge for another. From latin "major domus" - "master of the house". Q: I sent in a "unsubscribe listname", but nothing happened. I'm still receiving e-mail from the list. A: You probably sent your unsubscribe command to the list instead of sending it to Majordomo. List administration commands sent to the list address are ignored. Try re-sending your unsubscribe command to majordomo@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com. Q: Why can't I just send e-mail directly to a live person and have them remove me? A: There are ~2000 people on the various distribution lists run by this list administrator. Manual administration of the various lists is out of the question. Q: When I attempt to unsubscribe from the list Majordomo tells me that I'm not on the list, yet I continue to receive e-mail. A: A couple of different things could be happening. You may be subscribed onto the list on more than one address or you may not be specifying your address exactly as Majordomo has it recorded. Send a "who" command to Majordomo using the syntax "who listname" (no quote, where 'listname' is the name of the list in question). In return e-mail you'll receive a list of all the addresses active on the distribution list. Scan thru the list for your address. Q: What lists are currently maintained by the Majordomo running on machine hpwsrt.cup.hp.com? A: Sending a "lists" command to Majordomo will return the distribution lists served. The current lists are the eskrima-digest and the_dojang-digest. Q: I'm on 'listname'-digest. How can I reply to a message within the digest? A: Simply cut/copy the portion of the digest message that you wish to reply to, "quote" that portion, add your comments, and then send the e-mail to listname@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com (using the appropriate 'listname', of course). All e-mailers are different. If you have questions about using your particular e-mail reader/writer ask the System Administrator at your site, not the members on the list. Q: What do you mean by quoting? A: Quoting is the standard way of responding to e-mail content on the Internet. If you don't clearly indicate what part of the message you are responding to, how will people ever know what your comments are regarding? Quoting is often done by inserting a ">" or "-" or some other character in front of the lines in the message to be quoted. In most cases your e-mail reader will do this automatically for you. Q: I'm leaving for a couple of weeks. Is there an easy way to put me on hold? A: No. The only way is to send an "unsubscribe listname" command to Majordomo just before you leave and then a "subscribe listname" command to Majordomo upon returning home. Q: I hear that a file is available in the list archives. What does that mean? A: The archives are just a few files that are of possible interest to those on the distribution list. To obtain a list of the files available in the archives send the command "index listname" (no quotes, 'listname' is the name of the list you're interested in) to Majordomo and one will be returned in e-mail. To obtain a particular file shown in the index, use that exact filename (upper/lower case matters), and send the command "get listname filename" (using the appropriate 'listname' and 'filename') to Majordomo. The file will be returned to you via e-mail. Q: Can I access the archive files via ftp? A: Yes. ftp to ftp.martialartsresource.com. Then cd to the pub directory. Q: Is it okay to post pics/binary-files/ultra-long-messages to the list? A: Please do not send uuencoded graphics files, other binary files, or ultra-long informational files (>~8K) to the entire list. If you have a graphics file, a uuencoded file, or some other very large informational file that you think would be of interest simply send it directly to the list administrator (me at raymail@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com) and ask if it is ok to be added to the 'listname' archive. Once/if that is done, you may then announce to the list that file-such-and-such is available in the archives of the list 'listname'. Q: I received e-mail telling me that I am on the "bounces" list. What the heck is the bounces list? A: At times I receive e-mail meant for you that comes back to me (actually to Majordomo) indicating that you are no longer at that address. Sort of like when the post office stamps 'return to sender' on a letter. When that happens, your e-mail address is placed in the "bounces" distribution list and you are unsubscribed from the list that you were on. Every couple of days a message is sent to you telling you that you are on the bounces list. This will sometimes get through to you because the problem of your e-mail address being out of order will get fixed by someone somewhere somehow. When you receive this e-mail from the bounces list simply follow the directions in the message to unsubscribe from bounces and subscribe back to the list you were on. Q: I received mail telling me that I was on the bounces distribution list, but when I attempt to unsubscribe I am told that I am not on the list. A: I will typically only keep a person on the bounces list for a few days. After that I remove them from the list manually. I may have already removed you by the time you unsubscribed from "bounces". Q: While I was on the "bounces" list I missed the e-mail that was sent out. How may I obtain those messages? A: Past messages are available in the archives. Send Majordomo the command "get listname daily/listname.list.msgs.950406" (no quotes, 'listname' = "eskrima" or "the_dojang") and they will be sent to you via e-mail. For more complete information on obtaining a daily file or a digest issue "get" the file "obtaining.digests.or.dailies" ("get listname obtaining.digests.or.dailies") (using the appropriate 'listname') and follow the directions contained within. Q: Is there a way to obtain all past issues of the digest with one command? A: Sorry, no. Majordomo does not support that. Q: What is netiquette? A: Netiquette is behaving with proper etiquette, behaving like your mama taught you to. It is easy in this e-mail environment to trash other people since you don't have to look them in the eye. Those not behaving with proper "netiquette" will be removed without hesitation. Note: The list administer reserves the right to remove any member at any time for any reason. Q: What if I have a question not listed here? A: Send it in e-mail addressed to majordomo-owner@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com.
