We're a pretty fun, informal group. We don't have many rules, but here they are:
No personal insults or rude remarks.
No virus alerts.
There's plenty of information on them elsewhere.
A lot of them are started by companies trying to scare people into buying their anti-virus software.
No advertising. No get-rich-quick schemes. No MLM schemes. No chain letters.
Keep non-sweepstakes email and chitchat down to a minimum.
Don't use the list to recruit referrals or votes for contests you are running in.
Please don't post contest answers or other information that you've gotten from other lists or other sources not available free to the general public without permission from the original sender.
If you do get permission, credit the source and/or the original sender.
As an example, you can say, "I got this from a friend of mine who posted it on alt.consumers.sweepstakes."
Please don't post nvfslist mail or digests to any other list without permission from all the original senders.
It seems like such a minor thing, but you have no idea what problems you can create -- what bad feelings you can touch off and what chain events you can set off. Just because someone shares something with nvfslist, that doesn't mean they wanted to share it with the world.

Sorry, but this is one area where the list moderator won't be able to help you. He or she has no way to find out your password.
If you're not a member of the list, your email to the list will always be rejected.
If you are a member, make sure you are sending your message from the same email address you signed up with.
If you signed up as "sweeper@winner.com," but you send a message from another account you have, say, "winner@yahoo.com" or "mywork@emailaddress.com," Egroups won't recognize who you are and will reject your message.
The simplest thing to do would be to send the list moderator an email containing all of the email accounts you want to write from.
If you want each email address to receive nvfslist mail, tell the moderator.
If you DO NOT want to receive nvfslist mail at each address, tell the moderator to add your additional email addresses as "No Mail" addresses.
You may get duplicate copies of the nvfslist "Welcome" message at each "No Mail" address, but that should be it. If you continue to get mail, notify the moderator.
Or I suppose you could go the Egroups site, register each email address and set each to "No Mail," but that sounds like a pain to me.
Check this list. It might be here. Some contests are so well known among experienced sweepers that they may assume you've already bookmarked them. Or maybe they forgot. ... It's no big deal.
The prizes for the following contests usually are pretty small, but they can be nice.
If it isn't here, send a polite email to the sender or to the list asking for the URL.
Be polite and ask nicely _ don't demand or criticize. Remember, list members are giving you answers out of generosity. They're not obligated to tell you anything.
Please don't complain or send an irate note pointing out the time the answer was sent.
The sender probably was making a heroic, last-minute effort to get the answer to you.
You should be thanking the sender, not complaining.
If you miss the deadline, so what? Tomorrow's another day.
Remember, list members are giving you answers out of generosity. They're not obligated to tell you anything, and they certainly don't have to tell you anything by any particular time of day.
