> Dear Colleagues,

> Each of our line editors must invest some time preparing each post for
> distribution to H-ASIA. In the recent past, we have found that a number
> of incoming posts contain no signature. While sometimes we can deduce
> the 'name' of the poster from other evidence, we usually cannot guess
> about the poster's location, institutional affiliation (if relevant) or
> occupation, eg. independent scholar.
>
> PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. When sending a post to H-ASIA would you please
> ensure that a suitable `signature' is attached. Something such as this
> would be fine:
>
> Your name
> Your institution
> Your location
>
> On the other hand, it will also be a great favor if you do not weigh down
> the post with a "signature file" that includes many lines of other content
> such as your favorite quotation from some learned sage...
>
> Thank you,
