An open forum on GIGO and related third party products The International GIGO Message Conference Moderators: jason fesler jfesler@gigo.com thom lacosta baltimoremd@baltimoremd.com 1:261/1352 RULES OVERVIEW This conference is a moderated forum for discussion of issues concerning GIGO and related third-party software. Conferees can ask questions of the author of GIGO, and many of the experienced users in the conference. This conference is available both as a FTSC echo, and as a mailling list. RESTRICTIONS/GUIDELINES FOR POSTING 1. This is NOT a forum for bashing of any software product. From time to time comparisons of GIGO to other gateway software may take place, but always in the spirit of comparison and mutual education. 2. This forum is NOT a place to advertise products and services that are not directly related to GIGO and associated third-party products. Under no circumstances are ads allowed which do not fit into this scheme! This specifically includes but is not limited to MLM, 900-numbers, or typical "get rich"-type ads. You may immediately lose your access without warning for posting such material. 3. Because of the ease in subscribing to the gigo-l mailling list, the moderators reserve the right to immediately terminate any subsriptions to the list, and or access via the GIGO echo, to those users, who either by configuration errors, or willfull infractions of the rules may cause the signal to noise radio in the conference to deteriorate. 4. Let the moderator(s) do the moderating. If you have a problem with anyone's attitude or message content, do not engage in any personal attacks or regulation - take such complaints to the moderators as listed below: Moderator Fido Internet Jason Fesler 1:1/141 jfesler@gigo.com Thom LaCosta 1:261/1352 thom@fido261.qis.net 5. The material posted herein, unless otherwise acknowledged, remains the property of the moderators, as does this conference.

It is strictly off-topic for any individual to post personal information (addresses, telephone numbers, financial data etc.) on another participant without his/her permission. 5. We endeavor to minimize censorship and fully support ones' freedom of expression on this echo - however do not test the limits of what you can get away with saying if it is inappropriate or designed to annoy other participants. HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS 1. Please remember that this is an INTERNATIONAL conference and is widely distributed. You might be in Los Angeles and want to know a reputable source for bulk diskettes - don't post a message saying "Where can I get disks?"; instead qualify where you are located in the message in order to avoid confusion and inappropriate responses. 2. One objective of this forum is to serve as a source where existing users and potential users of GIGO can share information. Please make your posts with this in mind.
