ECHO RULES FOR THE CANADIAN GENEALOGY CONFERENCE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Echo Tag: GENEALOGY.CDN
Moderator: Don Grisenthwaite
Fido Net : 1:244/426
Internet: ve3ddq@hwcn.org
Last Revised: 18-MAR-1998
ECHO RULES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. MESSAGE CONTENT. Messages must pertain to the general topic area
of genealogy in Canada. This, of course, includes Acadian genealogy,
Native Canadian genealogy, English Canadian and French Canadian.
If a message is posted to a particular person and you have infor or
can help, by all means post! All messages in this echo are public.
When composing your message, be brief but include as much info as
is needed to make your point.
I suggest using capital letters for subject line and the name being
searched. (See example 1)
Choose a subject line that reflects the nature of your message and
don't use one subject line to search for more than one unrelated
item. Instead, post 2 separate messages. (See example 2)
Example 1 [A satisfactory message.]
To: All
Subject: SMITH
Hi!
I am looking for info on John SMITH who was known to be in the Calgary
Alberta area around 1890. John SMITH married Elizabeth JONES and they
had one child, Mary.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Jim Brown
Example 2 [A poor message.]
To: All
Subject: SmIth, Jones, Brown, Green, Johnston
I need help with these names.
Thanks,
John Jones
2. LANGUAGE OF COMMUNICATION. In the spirit of official bilingualism
in Canada, the use of both French and English are encouraged in
this echo.
3. DUPLICATE MESSAGES. GENEALOGY.CDN was established as an alternative,
for researchers of Canadian genealogical information, to the main
GENEALOGY echo. Messages posted in other genealogy-related echos
are not to be repeated in this echo. Select which of the echoes
you think is best suited to your needs.
4. "SIGNATURE" LINES AND "TAG" LINES. End of message lines listing
surnames being searched are limited to NO MORE than three lines
and should not be included in more than one message each day. Do
not include unnecessary "decorations" in signature lines. "Tag"
or "tear" lines are discouraged in this echo and in FidoNet in
general because these can cause operating abnormalities for some
BBS software. If you MUST use a tagline, don't include political,
controversial or derogatory comments.
5. COMMERCIAL MESSAGES. Users who offer a product or service for
sale may not use this conference to promote their interests.
One-time or infrequent announcements of new software products
or books are acceptable, as are reasonable responses to questions
to vendors. Negotiations for payment for genealogical research
or fee quotations for research or other products are prohibited,
except for reasonable requests for reimbursement of expenses.
Announcements and information about or by nonprofit genealogical
or computer groups interested in genealogy in Canada, are welcome.
6. HANDLES. Use of handles or aliases on this echo are prohibited.
Surnames are the lifeblood of genealogical research. If a person
refuses to use his or her real name, then he or she really isn't
that anxious to participate.
7. UNUSUAL ASCII CHARACTERS. Use only characters necessary to genealogical
messages. These include box characters (┤ ┌ └ ── │, etc.) for making
charts and foreign alphabet characters (à, á, ä, è, ö,).
8. COMMENTS OR COMPLAINTS. Please allow the moderator to address
violations of these rules. If you have a comment or complaint,
send a NetMail message to the conference moderator at the
NetMail below.
FidoNet: 1:244/426
NEW!! InterNet: ve3ddq@hwcn.org
9. COURTESY. It is asked that messages be cordial and posted with courtesy
for other users of the echo. Messages which contain inflammatory
statements or those which attack the character of another user
of the conference will not be tolerated. OFF-TOPIC message
content will not be tolerated. Please DO NOT respond to OFF-TOPIC
messages! Leave that to the moderator of this echo.
10. QUOTING. If you find it necessary to quote a message when replying,
quote ONLY what is necessary to refresh the memory of the sender.
NEVER quote entire messages, Origin Lines or Tag Lines that appear
at the bottom of messages unless those lines show a surname you are
interested in.
