KineJapan FAQ

This FAQ summarizes some of the basic commands you can use as a KineJapan subscriber. If at all possible, use these commands yourself to alter your subscription status. Only contact the owners when you have a problem in successfully executing these commands. Do not ever send requests to be taken off the list, etc., to the entire list: that is a bother to all the subscribers.

For all of the cases below, leave the subject line of your message blank and do not sign the message.

How do I send a message to the list?
