--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the National Cooking Echo. It is a non-region specific conference
dedicated to all persons interested in cooking and/or food related topics.
The National Cooking Echo may not be gated without the moderator's
permission.
1. Topics may be broad, but the common theme shall remain cooking. This
may include recipes, appliances, utensils, cook books, food history,
etc. The discussion of the benefits of herbs for medicinal purposes
is off topic, as are the benefits or recipes of any illegal or
controlled substances. Discussion of brewing and distilling alcohol
is not allowed, however, the discussion of which wines to serve with
various dishes is allowed.
2. Avoid excessive quoting. Try to quote enough of the message so that
the person you are responding to understands the reply. Change the
subject line when it no longer applies to the message.
3. The number of recipes per message must be limited to one, or two
very short recipes. As a rule of thumb, if two recipes exceed 100
lines in message length, it would be better to post them in two
messages.
4. DON'T get personal! Personal attacks (Flames), and Profanity are
unnecessary and unwelcome in this conference.
5. NO religion, theology, doctrine or biblical references are to be
discussed or debated. No political debates will be tolerated. No
racial, ethnic or religious slurs will be tolerated.
6. The official language of the echo is English. Please do not post
messages, recipes or anything else in any other language.
7. ONLY the Moderators will address off-topic traffic.
8. NO Private Messages.
9. Handles and/or Aliases allowed if they are a normal part of your
BBSing. However, you must post your real first and last name at end
of your message.
10. As stated in rule 6, the only language of the echo is English.
However, there are many foreign words which are common in cooking
terminology. For this reason, occasional and limited use of the
extended character set (i.e. high ascii) is allowed in messages and
recipes *only* in appropriate context, e.g. foreign words, degree
symbols and currency signs. High ascii fractions are not allowed
because some BBS software transforms them into whole numbers.
The use of the extended character set (ascii codes 127 and above),
the control characters (ascii codes 31 and below), or ansi escape
code sequences for artistic purposes is *not* allowed in messages or
signature blocks.
11. NO advertisements of any kind (including BBS ads) allowed, with the
following exception: ONE advertisement of new cooking related
software is allowed. You may NEVER advertise ANYTHING to sell in the
echo.
12. The change in moderators will be done in accordance with the current
Echopol rules. In the event that there is no concise and clear rule
in existence at the time of the change, the current moderator will
post the requirements of the job and will ask for names of those
interested. The decision will be made, by the current moderator,
from the names submitted.
The co-moderator will be offered the job of moderator before asking
for names.
13. These Guidelines are subject to change at any time. The moderator's
word is the final authority.
UNWRITTEN RULES SECTION:
1. If you mention a recipe in your message - you MUST post it! Do not
ask if anyone wants it. If you like it, someone else will like it
too.
Moderators:
Gail and Dale Shipp (last names A through K)
Dave Sacerdote (last names L through Z)
Pat Stockett (moderator on leave)
Joann Pierce (moderator emeritus)
