HOME_REPAIR - Home Repair and Construction
Moderator - Gary Gilmore, 1:2410/400
Last updated: 01/01/2000

 1 - This echo is for discussions of all related home repair and
     construction techniques, including home remodeling, yard work/gardens
     and repair of home appliances. Those with more experience are asked to
     offer help to those new to this topic.  Please, be patient with the
     newbies! :-)  Discussion of routine Fidonet info or policies should be
     discussed elsewhere.
     
     English is the language of this echo.

 2 - Try to get along.  If someone posts something that gives you the urge
     to flame them, walk away from the keyboard until that feeling passes.
     If someone is being a PITA and flaming, let the moderator handle it,
     please!

 3 - Please use your real name when posting here.  If you aren't sure,
     check your birth certificate.

 4 - Avoid creating unneeded traffic.  Here's a list of basic "No-no's":

  No: BBS ads, 'test' messages, "where are you from" chains, multiple
      tearlines, replies to off-topic messages, encrypted messages, PGP
      sigs, multiline sigs or taglines, playing moderator (unless you -are-
      the moderator), additional headers/footers in messages, hi-ASCII ASCII
      "artwork" (we really -don't- care to see it), uuencoded files, or
      huge amounts of over-quoting. <whew!>

      If a program (reader, tagline mgr, etc.) is adding a lot of extra
      junk to messages, please don't use it here.  (The moderator will
      decide what's "extra junk", and let you know.)
  
      Again, large/multiline signatures are -greatly- unwelcome, as well
      as listing every email account or FTN-type address you have.
      Leave it out, please.  One -short- line is an "acceptable" signature.

 5 - Please, limit quoting in your replies.  (If you're quoting more than
     a couple lines, you're probably quoting too much.)  Never quote tag/
     tear/origin lines.

 6 - Rules of Common Courtesy apply at -all- times.  If you want to argue
     with, or complain to someone, do it elsewhere.  Play nice!

 7 - This echo may not be gated (in or out) to any other FTN-style network,
     or the internet, without without prior permission of the moderator.
     Authorized gates will be published in the ELIST*.* listing for this
     echo.

Changes will be made to this list as needed.  Your input is welcome via
netmail.  (Arguing about moderator decisions/rules is not welcome in the
echo... again, please use netmail.)

Thanks for using the HOME_REPAIR echo!
