- The network trys to avoid lots of rules. It will appreciate your
- following this guideline in entering messages into the network:
-
- AVOID OVERQUOTING
- Quoting should be a memory jogger. It should not be long. It should
- not contain all of the message you are replying to. Each messages
- references the message it is replying to. If the recipient needs to
- refresh his memory further, he can read the message again. Sysop
- spend $$$ for the long-distance calls to provide this network to you.
- Overquoting becomes costly-redundancy for them
-
- FANCY SIGNATURES and EXTRANEOUS HUMOR
- Your signature is always part of the message header. Placing it in
- the body of your messages can also add to the networks costs. Cute
- little saying and humor can be left in the off-topic conference.
- Limit these goodies to your tag line in all other conferences.
-
- ANSI MESSAGES -- AT MACROS
- Do not include ANSI codes or BBS macros in your messages. Many
- bbs can and do filter them out. The result is your pretty message
- becomes a garbled mess. Macros that change colors etc. on certain
- bbs's are also prohibited.
-
- ALSO
- Try to change your SUBJECT: when you are changing the topic.
- Maintain common courtesy.
- Enjoy!
