Rules for the EchoList Access Conference as of 31 Mar 1993
Tag: ECHOLIST Moderated by: Mike Fuchs, 1:266/71, 1:1/201
PURPOSE
=======
The ECHOLIST conference centers on The International EchoList - an
open repository of information submitted by moderators of electronic
mail conferences. The EchoList itself is a database of entries
maintained by submitters using specially formated eMail messages.
A full copy of the database is published monthly and distributed
electronically as a compressed file.
This EchoMail conference serves four purposes:
The ECHOLIST conference is intended as a convenient method for people
to see announcements of new and updated entries when they are posted
to the database, rather than waiting until the monthly production.
The ECHOLIST conference supports submitting ECHO QUERY messages,
which produce as a reply a report of the contents of the EchoList
database.
The ECHOLIST conference provides a forum for questions and discussion
of EchoList facilities with the author.
The ECHOLIST conference supports submitting additions, updates and
deletions to the EchoList database itself. This is of dubious value
for those who wish password security on their entry, since the
original submission (with it's password in plain text) would be seen
by all participants. But it's provided as an option for those who do
not want or need to use NetMail.
RULES
=====
The ECHOLIST conference is the property of Mike Fuchs and is
associated only with the International EchoList. No other person or
organization has any authority whatsoever concerning the content or
operation of this conference. By linking your system to this
conference you agree to abide by my rules concerning access and use
of this conference. If you don't agree, don't link-in.
The primary purpose of the ECHOLIST conference is advertising for the
entries submitted to The EchoList, and as such is primarily a
read-only conference.
The only exception to the read-only status of the conference is to
allow entry of ECHO QUERY, MOD UPD and MOD DEL messages, and to
support questions concerning The EchoList itself to be addressed to
the publisher.
The ECHOLIST conference is NOT for discussion of the flow or
administration of EchoMail (refer to the ZEC conference for your
Zone), it is NOT for discussion of the internal operation of EchoMail
conferencing (refer to the MODERATOR conference), and it is NOT for
the discussion of finding and establishing EchoMail links (refer to
the ECHO_REQ conference).
Off-topic messages are to be ignored by all participants. Replies to
undesired messages just compound the problem. The moderator will
take whatever action is appropriate.
The sole authority for determining what is appropriate topic for
discussion, and for establishing and enforcing the rules in this
conference is the moderator.
