- Subj: S.O.S. Echo Guidelines - regular repost
- ____________________________________________________________________________
-
- This is the S.O.S. Echo dedicated to the petition drive to amend the FLorida
- State Constitution to prohibit the use of gill nets and other entangling
- nets in our nearshore and inshore waters and to prohibit the use of large
- seines and food-shrimp nets nearshore and inshore.
-
- Since this is a political issue, politics will be on-topic so long as they
- regard the subject of this Echo, namely: banning the nets! Both sides may
- post here but there will be some ground rules, to wit:
-
- 1. Though this is a political issue, politics must be related to the
- net issues raised in the petition drive.
-
- 2. No flames [personal attacks] will be tolerated. This includes
- name-calling and unsubstantiated claims. Attack the issues ONLY
- and be prepared to back up your arguments/statements/claims with
- verifiable facts.
-
- 3. No religion. This is a secular issue.
-
- 4. NO Private flagged messages in Echomail! Sysops please set this area
- to public-only traffic. Send Private messages via Netmail!
-
- 5. Avoid excessive quoting. Don't quote an entire message for a one line
- response. It costs people money to move Echomail. If you don't know
- how to use the quoter on the system you use, ask your Sysop or read
- the help files or refrain from quoting. Paraphrase but be accurate!
-
- 6. This Echo will last as long as the petition drive takes. It is a
- grassroots effort and has no official connection to the S.O.S.
- Committee based in Orlando, FL, although they have been informed
- of its existence and invited to participate.
-
- 7. Allow the Moderator[s] to do any moderating required. Don't add to
- the noise level by trying to correct the posts of others.
-
- 8. See Rule #1. [grin]
-
- The traffic in this Echo is the responsibility of the person posting it. If
- you have a problem with an individual, work it out in Netmail or privately.
- Don't do it in here.
-
- The past traffic from this Echo will be archived in a file called:
- SOS-COMM.ECO. That file will be archived as it gets to 362K in an archive
- called: S_ECHO1.ZIP - S_ECHO99.ZIP [etc.]. Files are available from this
- system anytime except 0100-0130 ET and Zone 1 ZMH at 1200-9600+ HST/V32 for
- FidoNet listed systems only.
-
- All participants and Sysops are encouraged to send this Echo to any and all
- Nets and Networks in FLorida who are interested. This Echo is open to anyone
- who wishes to participate.
-
- The current Moderator is Christopher Baker of FidoNet Node 1:374/14 located
- in Titusville_FL_USA. Additional Moderators may be added as necessary.
- Notice will be given in the Echo and the Guidelines adjusted. The Guidelines
- will be posted on the 1st and 15th of every month. They are also available
- in the ELRUL211 file. This Echo will be EListed as of ELIST211.
-
- Thanks, for joining in this FLorida-wide effort to take back our heritage
- and protect it from the short-time mentality of a very few!
-
- Ban the Nets!
-
- TTFN.
