The Eritrea Network consists of a number of services including the list "eritrea-info" with membership open to everyone interested in general information relating to Eritrea.
To Subscribe, send an e-mail message to: "majordomo@thames.stanford.edu"
which contains in its body (NOT in the Subject line) the following
command:
subscribe eritrea-info fist_name last_name
For example:

POSTING GUIDELINES
To post a contribution to all of the members of a list, send your
message to: "eritrea-info@thames.stanford.edu"
To enhance the value of this network and protect the common interest of
list members, the following posting rules are recommended to guide
members:
1. Postings must be consistent with the list's objectives. Otherwise,
private communication should be used.
2. All members posting should introduce themselves briefly to the
network the first time and identify themselves by name in subsequent
postings.
3. Opinions expressed in postings are solely those of individual posters
and do not reflect the opinions of the eritrea list members as a group.
4. English is the conventional language of the network. Other
languages, Eritrean and others, can be used provided the subject line
begins with the name of the language the article is written.
5. All postings must be non-profit, free from racist and sexist remarks,
name-calling, abusive and obscene language, ethnic jokes, and defamatory
statements. Considerations should be made that all mailings to Eritrea-L
can be subject to audits by educational institutions.
6. Postings should address issues and not only critique or embarrass
persons or groups.
7. Postings should provide factual representations in terms of sources,
document references, quotes, dates and places to substantiate opinions
instead of submitting hasty generalizations. A good practice is to
explicitly state one's assumptions and interpretations and define
ambiguous terms.
8. The benefit of the doubt should be granted when figuring out
motivations behind postings. Diplomatic requests for clarification
prior to expressing criticisms preempt misunderstandings, stop
communication barriers from building up and provide respondents an
opportunity to explain unequivocally their opinions.
If you have questions, suggestions, or problems, please contact list
organizers at: "eritrea-list-owners@thames.stanford.edu"
