The Gaskell Society announces a new e-mail discussion list to connect its members and everyone else interested in the life and works of Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865). Those of you interested in related fields -- for examples, Dickens, the Brontës, industrial novels, Victorian family issues -- are invited to join this new list and contribute your notices, inquiries and information.

Netiquette
When posting messages please be sure to follow netiquette, a
collection of guidelines designed to maximize everyone's enjoyment and
minimize inconvenience to others. For example:
- Please do not attack other subscribers (flame wars) if they don't
share your opinions.
- Please do not send attachments to the List. Attachments and html formatted messages (another form of attachment) cannot be successfully sent to the list. This is because there is a risk of spreading computer viruses such as the Microsoft Word
"Concept" virus and many, many others. Also, everyone on the list won't have the
software you used to create the file! Please just send plain text e-mail
messages. Do not send whole web pages. Although browsers will let you
send a web page as an email message, please copy the URL and type a
short description of the page instead.
- When responding, do not let your email software quote (include) the
whole message that triggered your response. Just cut and paste the
sentence or two you are commenting on if needed.
- Please be careful when you activate the reply function of your e-mail program. NEVER reply to someone through the List with a private message. That
could get embarrassing, and it annoys everyone else. Always check the
email address after the word "TO:" in the line at the top of your
outgoing message to make sure your private message is not going to the
List before you press the Send button.
