China Travel discussion List
Readers of rec.travel.asia with a particular interest in China may also
be interested in THE ORIENTAL-LIST. Now more than ten years old and with several hundred members, the list provides a forum for the discussion of travel in China, and across China's borders to the nearest major centres, such as Almaty, Bishkek, Islamabad, Kathmandu, Hanoi, and Ulaan Baatar. The Oriental-List accepts practical travel queries; discussions of the merits of individual destinations or routes; accounts of individual experiences; historical and cultural material relevant to China travel; reviews and notifications of other China travel resources (newsgroups, publications, websites, public lectures, etc); political, legal, and ethical matters to do with travel in China, and China travel news items. This list is moderated to keep it free from off-topic material, personal attacks, abuse, foul language, cross-postings, spam, or other trivia. It is intended to be supplementary to other sources, and does not accept queries easily answered by looking in a guide book, those in chat-room style, or overly vague. The answer to almost any China travel question can vary from month to month, and so the list maintains no archive, and regards published sources such as guide books as its FAQ file, dealing mainly in matters beyond the scope of such books. The Oriental-List is run entirely pro bono, carries no advertising, the list of members is not made available to any individual or third party organisation, and email addresses are stripped from all headers to prevent their exploitation. Membership is, of course, free, and members include those planning their first trips to China, experienced China travellers, China-based journalists and foreign residents, as well as the authors of several books on travel in China. To receive further guidelines and to subscribe, send a blank email to: subscribe-oriental-list [at] datasinica [.] com or visit http://www.datasinica.com (Those without any interest in discussion on these terms need merely ignore this announcement, and to avoid seeing it in the future simply add the subject line 'China Travel Discussion List' to their software's 'kill' file.) |

China Travel discussion List
"Peter Neville-Hadley" kirjoitti .below... Readers of rec.travel.asia with a particular interest in China may also be interested in THE ORIENTAL-LIST. I cannot imagine it would be any of their interests. Actually persistent spamming about always works for the opposite tendencies: potential customers definitely don't sympathize spammers and leave the product on the shelves (in this case a couple of outdated "travel" books). Corporate lists like the one the Lonely Planet publisher maintains outranks this miserable little effort of yours hands down. And they definitely don't spam to the usenet. They have that tiny pinch of tact and class left. Show that you are a man (I know, it won't be easy) and bugger off. |
