NORTHWEST GENEALOGY CONFERENCE RULES 12 April 1995
------------------------------------
Echo Tag : NORTHWEST.GEN
Moderator : Leslie Trombley (440:113/262)
This echo is for Genealogical discussions of ANY nature. This could
include helps, events, books, software, genealogical, heraldic, and
family history matters of those callers who have a Genealogical
interest in the Pacific Northwest.
Terminology: The Pacific Northwest is deemed to include the states of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, and that part of Canada known as
British Columbia.
Messages in this echo must conform with the current rules in place for
IGA_Net<tm>. Please note that any message which is lawful, friendly, and
related to genealogy is not likely to fall afoul of any IGA_Net<tm>
rule.
Personal attacks (FLAMES), offensive language or racial slurs are pro-
hibited in this conference. When someone enters a message with such
content, their feed will be immediately severed--with out any
notification. Be advised "offensive" is what the moderator deems
offensive. In case a message appears which is questionable as to
possibly containing contents prohibited above, the originator will be
required to respond by direct netmail to the moderator with answers to
questions presented by the moderator. In the absence of a speedy
communication, the message originator's feed be severed.
Messages from this conference may not be gated to any other network
without the express consent of the Administrator of IGA_Net<tm>,
440:1/0.
Off-topic messages are prohibited in this conference.
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.
The use of excessive "quoting" is strictly discouraged. Only quote that
portion of a message which is necessary to continue the "thought"with
out going overboard. Quoting an entire message is hardly ever
necessary. Quoting a tag line and/or origin line is a NO! NO! and
NEVER necessary.
Talking about and advertising books, software and researchers pertaining
to genealogy *is* allowed.
Any Genealogical item for sale can only be advertised *once* a month.
If you have any books or are able to help some one please list what you
available to you. If you would like to help someone please list your
field of expertise.
Questions or comments about these rules, the echo, or its management
should be sent via NetMail to the Moderator.
Let the Moderator do the Moderating.
REMEMBER: THE ONLY DUMB QUESTION IS THE ONE NOT ASKED
