"WHAT ARE THE RULES?
You may post any questions you wish pertaining to histology, pathology,
in-situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry etc. Equipment and reagent
evaluations, laboratory management issues, government regulations, and job
opportunities are all appropriate topics. The University asks that we
restrict
the use of its hardware and software to business purposes only..."

That was from my subscription. The reply from Curtis below may have been a
bit terse indeed, but he's not wrong.

I celebrate Christmas, but I'd hate to see the response from  many on this
list when it was deluged with Happy Hanukkah/Chanukah, Happy Diwali, Happy
Ramadan, Happy Winter Solstice, Happy Eid al-Adha, etc. Non-Christians
generally have a lot more awareness of religious diversity, it seems, at
least regarding mailing list protocol.

Happy New Year doesn't work, either...

I'm not meaning to knock people's good wishes, mind you - I know they are
well intended. Perhaps we could keep the good wishes to the first 3-4
postings?
