Mystery Echo Rules (revised: 07-Nov-91)
The Mystery conference (area tag "MYSTERY") is for the discussion of
literary works of the mystery genre, with excursions into spy and
thriller as necessary and so long as not too intrusive. We're not
sure we can precisely define the difference anyway. Brief
digressions onto other topics are always welcome. Please do not,
however, post fiction to the echo. The echo is for discussion.
Discussion of film and television members of the genre is, currently,
permitted; the use of "literary" above is to preserve the option of
excluding them later, IF the volume of traffic on video mystery
becomes large enough that it interferes with the literary part of the
discussion. I have no idea if this will become a problem or not, I'm
just hedging my bets.
This echo is for civilized, reasonably mature, discussion. Personal
attacks and vilification will not be tolerated.
Please do not send complaints about rules violations through the
echo. First, that's my job as moderator. Second, if you MUST
enter your own complaint, please do so via netmail directly to the
person responsible. That saves all the rest of us the time and money
to move your message all over the world. (Remember that my message
may well have gone netmail directly to the offender, so the lack of
complaints in the echo doesn't show that I'm not doing anything.)
If you think I'm falling down on the job, and want to nudge me, send
me netmail rather than posting in the echo. Think of sending me
netmail as sending a letter to your Congressman, and posting
complaints in the echo as taking out a full-page ad in the New York
Times to air your complaint. Consider what each costs....
The MYSTERY conference is moderated by David Dyer-Bennet, sysop of
1:282/341 in Minneapolis. The MYSTERY is carried on the echomail
backbone.
