[Babase] Notes about mailing list

Hello babase team,

I just picked up a thread about views, and like Leah wasn't sure 
where it came from. I think we need to be  careful to post things 
about babase to the babase mailing list. It is too hard to figure out 
where we are and contribute to the discussion if we come into it in 
the middle of a thread.

I propose that if you are sending an attachment, then FIRST write an 
email to the mailing list with whatever message you want to send and 
SECOND send a separate email with the attachment alone and nothing 
else. A good rule of thumb in deciding whether to write to the 
mailing list or to Karl alone (or another one of us) is, don't assume 
that no one else needs to see what you're writing -- if we don't, we 
can skip it.

Thanks,
Susan
