International Genealogical Association Network IGA_NET<tm>
Rules for the (AlaBenton Genealogical Society Conference)
ECHO TAG: IGA_ABGSC
REVISED: 7 March 1995
MODERATOR: Robert Thomas ( IGA_NET <tm>: 440:115/7 )
( TRACKS From The Past: 205-237-6074 )
PURPOSE:
The Purpose of the IGA_NET <tm> AlaBenton Genealogical Society
Conference is to provide a forum for research of early settlers of
Benton County Alabama, consisting of portions of Clay, Cleburne,
Calhoun and Talladega counties of Alabama today. Information request
will be researched in the Alabama Room of the Calhoun County Library,
Anniston, Alabama. Replies will be posted at the earliest possible
date after receiving the original query.
MESSAGES:
Messages in this echo must conform with the current rules in place for
the IGA_NET <tm>. Any message that is lawful, friendly, and related
to genealogy is not likely to fall afoul of any IGA_NET <tm> rules.
Message should be in English with quoting kept to a level sufficient
to identify any message being replied to. Cross posting of messages
concerning research of Benton County residents will be allowed;
providing the submitter is willing to forward any replies received to
the originator of the message.
TAGLINES:
The use of taglines is strongly dissuaded. In the event the originator
of a message finds he/she has an urgent need to utilize a tagline, the
tagline will only be a short line detailing research surnames:
Researching: JONES, GREEN, and CALLAWAY
Cutesy taglines add nothing to the value of genealogical research
being conducted by the message originator.... in fact, they detract
greatly from the serious purpose of the message content.
Also, taglines add to the length of messages and therefore add to the
cost of transferring traffic via continental and intercontinental
telephone. Again, you are requested to empathize with those who are
paying the long-distance charges and leave taglines off your messages.
ETIQUETTE:
This message echo is supported by an amateur genealogy network. Users
of the echo should show consideration for System Operators who very
often spend their own money to move messages around the world. Try to
avoid wasting space. Do not indent left margins, quote too much of a
message in a reply, or use unnecessarily large taglines. Informative
taglines or signature lines, giving the names of families you are
researching are permitted.
*******************************************************************
Considering that characters with the high-ASCII bit set (above 7A
hexadecimal (127 decimal) and characters of value less than 20
hexadecimal (32 decimal) can cause numerous problems with some
software now in use; therefore, such characters are not allowed in
messages in this echo.
