Subject: Posting Instructions
I _do_not_ have the time to tidy up
messages.
This List is a free service - all
subscribers have to do is abide by
the rules. Those of you who choose
not to lay out your messages as per
the following instructions will not
have your messages posted. End of
story.

To help current and future readers of UFO UpDates' posts and
the UFO UpDates Instant Archive software at:
http://www.ufomind.com/ufo/updates
please observe the following rules when posting to the List.
1. Line-length
Please make your lines no more than 70 characters long
------------------------This line is 70 characters---------------------
Longer lines are wrapped by various pieces of software along the Net
and leave awkward
and eye-jarring line lengths.
2. Attribution
When responding to a message on the List, _always_ include the
'header' from that message at the start of your message - eg.:
>Date: 01 Jan 97 00:00:01 EST
>From: Genghis@mukluk.com <Bob Bobberts>
>To: UFO UpDates - Toronto <updates@globalserve.net>
>Subject: UFO UpDate: Grays are Grey Area
It's at the beginning of the 'body' of the message you are
answering.
3. Quoting
_Always_ quote from the message to which you are responding.
Keep quoted material from previous messages to a minimum: Just
quote enough text to let people know what you are responding to.
Excessive quoting will result in your message not being posted
to the List.
Start each quoted line with a 'greater-than' sign (>) as the
first character. The Archive software will automatically
italicize these lines. Visit the Archive page and take a
look.
Messages that do not utilize the required quoting protocol
will not be posted to UFO Updates.
Most modern E-Mail software will allow the user to click a
'Reply' button and automatically open a new window, with the
message being responded to inserted with universal quote-mark
(>) at the beginning of each line.
When 'Reply' is clicked, some E-Mail software will insert a line
which states:
On 01 Jan 97 at 00:00:01 EST, UFO UpDates wrote:
If your program does this, please remove it - UFO UpDates did
not _write_ the message - it was merely posted to the List by
UpDates.
5. Don't send 'personal' responses to the list that should be sent
directly to the original author. Send a message to the list
only if it contains new information that you want EVERYONE to
see.
Messages that contain what the List Administrator considers to
be personal attacks or 'flames' will not be posted to the List.
Those messages will be forwarded to the person they refer to
for their information.
6. URLs (Web Site addresses) _must_ include http:// and be on one
line. The Archive software will make the URL a 'click-able' link
to that address in your archived message.
