> 1) Keep all postings to a rough upper limit of 2 screens. \

> 2) Do *not* include clippings from previous postings unless *absolutely*

> of informative, new contributions to the study of classical India may be
> posted. However, discretion should be shown in such matters.\

> 5) Postings should make a contribution to the "academic study of
