- 1) The purpose of these messages are to act as a gentle guidance to
- the users. There is no reprimand nor "inhumanity" intended. I've
- been around too long for that. I can assure you that this is
- benevolent.
-
- 2) The fact that this newsgroup is not moderated does not mean that
- the accepted charter is not in effect. The validity of the charter
- is has nothing to do with the absence or a presence of complaints.
-
- 3) All guidance notes had "(administrative)" in the subject line so
- that it is easy for the users who find them disruptive to put this
- designator in their kill files.
-
- 4) This newsgroup has had a very auspicious start. We do not wish
- to replicate the problems we had in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.archives,
- and that is one reason why it is necessary to inform the gentle
- users right away.
-
- 5) It is not even rational to send off-topic postings. Posted to a
- correct newsgroup they are much more likely to elicit useful
- answers. This is to everyone's benefit.
-
- 6) You are right. I am not the moderator of this newsgroup. It is
- unmoderated. But this being a discussion subgroup of the
- comp.archives.msdos.announce newsgroup, where I am a moderator, and
- having been one of the persons who founded comp.archives.msdos.d I
- think I have some responsibility and some say in here.
-
- 7) Please call me Timo rather than a "Mr". I only say this because
- you seem to prefer proper procedures yourself.
-
- All the best, Timo
