Subject: ADMIN: Posting guidelines
A couple of weeks ago there were a lot of messages going back and forth
about the nature of contributions to this list. I thought that it might
be helpful to remind everyone of the original intent of this list and
give a few guidelines for posting.
THE AMIGAE MAILING LIST:
The list was formed in the late spring of 1993 to serve as a forum for
those using the Amiga E programing language. The purpose was and is to
put together both experts and beginners to exchange coding ideas, source
code and tools, toward the dual goals of helping the Amiga E language
to grow into maturity, and for us to grow into better Amiga E programmers.
POSTING GUIDELINES:
1. Try to keep in mind that your posts to the list go out to over 100
people located around the world. Many of these pay for their email
services, and international email is in general an expensive enterprise
for someone, even if not for the end user. If your posting is of a
personal nature, or is part of a discussion with just one or two list
members, consider using private email to continue the dialog. Always
be aware that what you post to the list should be of interest to the
majority of list members.
2. Stay on topic! This list is for the discussion of Amiga E.
3. Please try to be polite in both your posts and your responses. Flaming
(though we haven't seen this here, yet), will not be tolerated and can
get a member removed from the list in a hurry. It has no place in a forum
such as this one.
4. If you choose to reply to a list message, be sure to trim quoted
text as much as possible. Again, this is a matter of courtesy as both
members who pay for mail by the character and those who read it over
slow modem connections do not appreciate 100 lines of quoted text for
a three line reply. (Those of us reading it over fast connections don't
appreciate it much, either.)
5. Source of less than 250 lines may be posted to the list in plain text,
and you are encouraged to do so. This makes discussion of the source and
questions about it much easier to accomplish for other list members.
Longer source, or that which is contained in several files, should be
archived into either a lha or lzh archive, then uuencoded and sent to
the list. For really large postings, over 20K or so, post a message
on the list notifying the members of the file's availability and mail
it only to those who show interest. Please do not post very large files
to the list without checking first to be sure that a majority of list
members want them. As another option, such files can be sent to me and
made available to list members in the same way that the list archives
are available. Disk space permitting, I am very open to this method of
file distribution.
6. Finally, remember that this list is moderated (by me). I don't
generally get involved in a heavy-handed way, but those who consistently
violate the basic rule of "be considerate" may receive warnings from
me, or even be removed from the list. I also reserve the right to
reject any posting which is clearly not appropriate. Such a rejection
will always result in a message to the list stating the action and
the reason for doing so.
Thanks for your cooperation and contributions to this list. If we
all work together we can keep this list the valuable, informative
and useful tool that it is now.
Norm.
