Echo Rules:
The CLASSIC_COMPUTER echo has the following rules which all participants
are to read, AND FOLLOW when posting messages.
Off Topic Messages:
When discussions do not directly involve classic computer topics as
covered above), they should be moved to another echo or Netmail. Due
to the low volume of the echo, as long as discussions are about
computers in general, messages will be considered on topic.
Piracy:
Discussion of the illegal acquisition of copyright software is
forbidden and if flagrant may result in loss of access without
warning.
Language:
This echo is open to all gender and age groups. Profanity will not
be tolerated.
Tolerance:
Practice tolerance.
Personal attacks (flames), test messages, or political postings are
not allowed in this conference. Do not respond to such messages in
this echo.
Quoting:
Quote enough so others will know what is being discussed, but do not
quote excessively. Do not quote origin and signature lines.
Tag lines and Signature lines:
Taglines and signatures are NOT to advertise any Commercical
Enterprise. You may include the name of your BBS and Phone Number in
the Signature or tagline.
Control and High-ASCII characters (below CHR(32) and above
CHR(127) are forbidden.
Graphic signatures, borders and other characters which
unnecessarily add to the bulk of your post are discouraged.
Aliases/Handles:
This is a REAL NAME only echo. If an Alias is used, the message must
be signed with your first and surname at the end of the message. The
Alias should be corrected as soon as possible.

The Moderators of the CLASSIC_COMPUTER Echo are Gaelyne Gasson and

this echo to us at the addresses listed below.
The moderator will usually reply to violations thru the echo
itself. This is because not all readers have access to netmail. It

receive a reminder, you may reply in the echo, or by netmail, to the
address listed. Other users are asked NOT respond to Official
communications between the moderator and user.
