ADMINISTRATIVE: Posting Guidelines Reminder - PLEASE READ

Hi all ...

There have been A LOT of folks NOT FOLLOWING the guidelines of late
so I guess it is time for our posting guildelines reminder.

- The BEST guidelines in ALL postings is to abide by the Scouts Oath
and Promise. It is valid to discusss ideas and to disagree
but NEVER on a personal level.

- Dont quote messages when replying (if you feel you just have to, then
EDIT OUT ALL BUT WHAT IS MINIMUMLY NECESSARY)

- Dont use MIME or HTML (ie attach files, notes, etc)
- Use private email whenever possilbe (congratulations, welcome, etc.)
- Keep length of lines 72 characters or less
- Keep signature lines reasonable in length (4-5 lines max)
- Include your return email address on your signature line
- Keep topics limited to scouting and youth programs
- No commercial advertising
- Learn how to use your email software so you dont make mistakes

If you have misplaced your copy of the WELCOME file, you can get
a new one by sending email to "LISTSERV@tcu.edu" with a one line
message (no signature lines) that says "GET SCOUTS-L WELCOME".

There is a 50 message limit per day on the list and we've been
hitting it on a daily bases lately. This limit is there for several
reasons including limiting the amount of resources being used on
our computers, stopping "run-a-way" posts, and what I call a "get
a life" factor :) I currently have no intentions to change this
limit ... so ... keep in mind the audience of your posting and when
appropriate, use private email.

Yours in Scouting,
Jon Eidson, Listowner Scouts-L
