of hostility flying around.  Although some of you may not mean it, it
sure comes out in an angry voice.   Come on fellow techies -  where's
the love!!!!

Do not directly attack anyone for anything on the list.
Take issue with ideas, not personalities, and do
 NOT point out grammatical, spelling, or usage errors.

>        interest, post it.

>        humorous, post it.
>
>      WHAT NOT TO POST
>      * If it doesn't clearly and directly relate to technical
>        communication, don't post it.
>      * If it relates to _language use_ but not technical
>        communication, it probably isn't appropriate.
>        Don't post it.
>      * If it relates to _computer use_ but not technical
>        communication, it probably isn't appropriate.
>        Don't post it.
>      * If it continues an irrelevant thread in any way
>        (rebuttal, rebuke, rerun, revision, remark), don't
>        post it.
>      * If it is a personal message to a single subscriber,
>        don't post it. Even if mail to that person bounces.
>      * If you aren't sure, don't post it.
>      * If it is something cute, interesting, or funny that
>        you found on the Internet (e.g. Dr. Seuss on Tech
>        Writing, origin of spam), don't post it. I assure
>        you that most readers have seen it already.
>
>      OTHER
>      * Check your facts on anything you post. Do not under
>        any circumstances post virus warnings or anything else
>        designed to be "forwarded to everyone you know" to this
>        list.
>      * Do not directly attack anyone for anything on the list.
>        Take issue with ideas, not personalities, and do
>        NOT point out grammatical, spelling, or usage errors.
>        This forum is not the place to exercise editorial
>        frustration.
>      * Please do post job ads -- they are welcome. Please
>        put the location and general job description in the
>        Subject line. E.g. something like
>        JOB: Sr. Tech Writer, SF, California, USA.
>      * Do not post job ad critiques. If you don't like the
>        job, don't apply. If you have an issue with the
>        terminology or phrasing, take it up off-line
>        with the company.
>      * Please do not post other ads in any form, for they are
>        not welcome. The one exception is for ads that directly
>        address a topic under discussion on the list. For example, if
>        a reader posts a question about snazzling software and
>        the company you work for makes Snazzler for Doors, posting
>        information about the product would be fine.
>      * Please make sure your E-mail address is included in
>        the body of the message you post to the list.
>      * If responses are sent to you--not to the whole list--please
>        summarize and post the entire summary back to the list.
>        A summary should include attributions so others can pick
>        up conversations offline if necessary with original posters.
>        When you send a summary back to the list, use the word
>        "SUMMARY" as the first word of the "Subject" line."
>      * Direct all commentary about this message to my
>        address, not the list.
