Here's an example: <blockquote> "I am interested in users whose email address ends in "mit.edu" and who've either posted at least one entry in the last six months into a particular discussion forum or who have explicitly said that they're interested in learning more about large format photography. Once I've seen how many there are, I would like to spam them." </blockquote> As different installations of the ACS will have different active modules and different publisher interest, we actually need a way for a publisher to formally specify "these are the kinds of ways I'd like to select out users". <hr> <a href="http://photo.net/philg/"><address>philg@mit.edu</address></a> </body> </html>
