Hello everyone! First of all I want to explain something. I have had several people contact me saying that they tried to get on the web-page for the list and could not get on it. This is not a bulletin board. It is a list. Just like the GSP-L. If you post on the list, it will automatically go to all of the members of the list. Therefore, if you are on the list you will get the post. If for some reason you do not want to participate in a particular thread, you cam simply delete that thread. Here are the groundrules for the list: Mail to the group should be of broad interest to the group as a whole. Send personal mail directly to the person concerned. Brief congratulatory/welcome messages should also be sent personally rather than to the group. Messages of one or two sentences only should not be sent to the list. No flaming! Any messages of complaint about another subscriber should be sent directly to that person or to the moderators. The writings and opinions posted to the Southwest Pointing Dog Club mailing list are strictly the opinions of the writer and do not contain any endorsements or guarantees of any kind, unless otherwise noted by a moderator. Postings that could be construed as defamatory, libelous, or offensive to individuals, organizations, or institutions should not be posted to the SWPDC list. Membership on this list constitutes an undertaking to abide by the these ground rules and to be considerate of other members when posting mail to the list. When you reply to a message, don't include the entire length of the original message in your post. Take the time to use your delete key and either select the small part that is pertinent to your letter or summarize it in your response. Avoid posting "Me Too" messages, i.e., short replies to the whole list just to say that you agree or had a similar reaction or experience. It is better to send these by private mail to the original poster. If you have something valuable to add, then by all means send this to the list. As a general guideline, the new content in a follow-up post should exceed the quoted context. Label the content of your post in the subject line. If the subject in your response differs from the one your are replying to, update the subject line to match your new topic. The form "XXX (was YYY)" works well for changing topics. All mail to swpdc-l should be directly related to the list. For example, don't send humor columns, chain letters, other people's inspirational poetry, or any off-topic information to the list, no matter how wonderful or necessary you may find it. Take care in what you write. Remember that many people will read your post, and it will be archived for a very long time. Consider your audience. Email always sounds harsher than it is because there are no accompanying gestures or facial expressions. Try not to give offense or be easily offended yourself. When you make your points keep your tone polite. Respond to the issues not to the personal attributes.AME WARS Flaming means sending harsh abusive mail. It includes such things as name-calling, public criticism of another member of the group, personal attacks, baiting, raising issues, or responding to posts in a deliberately inflammatory manner. Persistent disagreements with another person should be moved to private email and off of the list. The best way to stop a flame fest from happening is to ignore the folks who try to start them. Please notify the moderators if you feel that the discussion is getting out of hand or oppressive.E EMAIL Never repost private email to the mailing list (or any other forum or media) without permission of the original author. If you have permission to repost a message or information, please credit the author and show their email address. Don't post your phone number or address to the list without understanding the potential consequences. It is better to send personal information by private email.DABLE Capitalize words only to highlight an important point or to distinguish a title or heading. Capitalizing whole words that are not titles is generally termed as SHOUTING! Asterisks surrounding a word can be used to make a stronger point. Don't write an entire message in lower case, either. Keep the length of your signatures modest. One or two lines is about right. thank you, Rick & Terry
