A special welcome to Lilli Ju, who recently joined sust-mar. Many of you
know Lilli as host of a radio show on CKDU 97.5, and active in many
environmental issues. But she is also sust-mar's 300th subscriber!  300 is
of course a record for sust-mar. But, our success is necessitating some
adjustments:

If you do the math, you'll see that 300 subscribers means that each one of
us is "entitled" to fewer than two (2) postings per year! Of course, not
every subscriber posts messages. But, you see the problem. Sust-mar simply
can't handle all the messages that are flowing in.

Please keep this in mind when sending messages in to sust-mar. I'd like to
ask people to try to stick to a voluntary guideline (just like industry!) 
of one message per month. I don't want to restrict people in numbers. But
I may not be able to give "priority" to more than one message per month
per person. 

"Priority" means that your message gets posted usually within one week. I
do this for time-sensitive messages. Other "routine" messages may take a
month or more to be posted.

Please keep these timings in mind. Messages have a much better chance of
being posted if they are:

- on topic (*Maritime* sustainability)
- short, i.e. less than 10K
- in plain text format (no html, no MIME, no rich text or fonts)
- free of copyright material 

If you've abided by the above and your message hasn't been posted after
the time limits suggested above, drop me a line and i'll try to tell you
the status of your message in the queue.

Thanks, all!
~paul :)
