Hello!
Here is the semi-intelligent, somewhat annual, sometimes boring,
somehow relevant, required rules of this here conference.
1. STAY ON TOPIC (within boundries of friendly exchanges).
What is the topic?
Herbs. This means any plant that is used for domestic
applications, including medicinal, culinary, aesthetic,
auromatic, and other such things.
Religion is not on-topic. Even if the religious dialog
involves herbs.
Those who want to talk to me about something, and it is not
within the topic of herbs, USE NETMAIL. Period.
2. USE A REAL SOUNDING NAME IN THE HEADER OF YOUR MESSAGES, if at
all possible. If not, then do so IN THE BODY of the message.
The preferred way is in the header.
Certain constraints and requirements are made of people who
participate in this Echo conference:
Courtesy is required. Arguments can happen, but flames and
insults are not allowed... If you have complaints about users of
the echo then voice them in direct net mail (if you are a sysop),
not in this echo. (Regular users can ask their sysop to forward
the netmail for them.)
(Go drink some chamomile tea if someone gets on your nerves.)
-=- Type unto others as you would have them type unto you. -=-
The Moderator of this echo is: Tomas Hood 1:352/777
Remember: No FLAMES, No Insults... let's be friends and have a
good time. Use your real-sounding name somewhere in any message.
THAT IS IT FOR RULES. Now, how about some general GUIDELINES.
Of course, these are in a form that may be offensive... oh well!
1] Thou shalt not flame other participants in the conference.
2] Thou shalt not reply to flames left by other people.
3] Thou shalt keep to the topic of the echomail conference.
4] Thou shalt not reply to off-topic messages.
5] Thou shalt not discuss illegal things in an echomail
conference.
6] Thou shalt not use ANSI escape sequences in echomail
messages.
7] Thou shalt not use 8-bit ASCII characters in messages.
8] Thou shalt listen to the moderator at all times.
9] Thou shalt post messages in the language(s) designated by
the moderator.
10] Thou shalt not quote entire messages only to leave a one-
liner.
11] Thou shalt not quote tear & origin lines unless it has
some relevance in the message.
12] Thou shalt not advertise BBSes unless otherwise specified.
13] Thou shalt not post commercial advertisements unless
otherwise specified.
14] Thou shalt not get into "this product is better than that
product" arguments in an echomail conference.
15] Thou shalt not leave personal messages in an echomail
conference. (However, being "personal and warm" is hoped
for!)
16] Thou shalt not post messages addressed to "Sysop" in an
echomail conference.
17] Thou shalt not use profanity unless otherwise specified.
18] Thou shalt not thank each and every single person
personally in an echo who has given thou help. A single
message thanking all at one time is sufficient.
19] Thou shalt not reply to the same echomail message on more
than one BBS.
20] Thou shalt conduct thyself in a responsible and mature
manner when dealing with other echomail participants.
21] Thou shalt not be a weenie.
22] Thou shalt use your real name, no aliases allowed; please
use it somewhere in the message.
How's that? Hope it was enough. Can we think of more?
Thank you for joining us! Don't be shy, join in and enjoy the
company here.
Tomas David Hood, aka 'theMod.'
