Ärende: home rules 450
======================
I'm home. That's to say at an airport. I'll be spending
a whopping 60 hours in airports in the next couple weeks
and a similar amount of time on actual equipment, ranging
from the mighty A340-300 (SWISS business class, yay) to
the hated CRJ (United economy, on the worst equipment
flying scheduled over the American skies).

In the airport I will have connectivity, also (assuming
there haven't been unforeseen effects of typhoons or
North Korean aggression) in most of the hotels, so my
absences from here are planned to be short and mostly
explainable.

The good news is that most likely a bunch of travel
reports will be forthcoming. Maybe including the half-one
done from January that still resides on this laptop.

Meanwhile, here's a reminder of the relatively lax rules:

  From: Moderator                                    
  Subj: cooking echo rules

This is the National Cooking Echo.  It is a non-region specific
conference dedicated to all persons interested in cooking and/or food
related topics. The National Cooking Echo may not be gated without the
moderator's permission.
 
1.  Topics may be broad, but the common theme shall remain cooking. This
     may include recipes, appliances, utensils, cook books, food history,
     etc. The discussion of the benefits of herbs for medicinal purposes
     is off topic, as are the benefits or recipes of any illegal or
     controlled substances. Discussion of brewing and distilling alcohol
     is not allowed, however, the discussion of which wines to serve with
     various dishes is allowed.
 
2.  Avoid excessive quoting. Try to quote enough of the message so that
     the person you are responding to understands the reply. Change the
     subject line when it no longer applies to the message.
 
3.  The number of recipes per message must be limited to one, or two
     very short recipes.  As a rule of thumb, if two recipes exceed 100
     lines in message length, it would be better to post them in two
     messages.
 
4.  DON'T get personal!  Personal attacks (Flames), and Profanity are
     unnecessary and unwelcome in this conference.
 
5.  NO religion, theology, doctrine or biblical references are to be
     discussed or debated. No political debates will be tolerated. No
     racial, ethnic or religious slurs will be tolerated.
 
6.  The official language of the echo is English. Please do not post
     messages, recipes or anything else in any other language.
 
7.  ONLY the Moderators will address off-topic traffic.
 
8.  Handles and/or Aliases allowed if they are a normal part of your
     BBSing. However, you must post your real first and last name at end
     of your message.
 
9.  As stated in rule 6, the only language of the echo is English.
     However, there are many foreign words which are common in cooking
     terminology. For this reason, occasional and limited use of the
     extended character set (i.e. high ascii) is allowed in messages and
     recipes *only* in appropriate context, e.g. foreign words, degree
     symbols and currency signs. High ascii fractions are not allowed
     because some BBS software transforms them into whole numbers.
 
     The use of the extended character set (ascii codes 127 and above),
     the control characters (ascii codes 31 and below), or ansi escape
     code sequences for artistic purposes is *not* allowed in messages or
     signature blocks.
 
10. The Cooking Echo is a plaintext echo and HTML coded text, other
     "rich text" codes and/or inserted pictures are not allowed.
 
11. NO advertisements of any kind (including BBS ads) allowed, with the
     following exception: ONE advertisement of new cooking related
     software is allowed. You may NEVER advertise ANYTHING to sell in the
     echo.
 
12. Any change in moderators will be done by the current moderators.
 
13. The total number of messages per day posted by any single member
     should be limited to 20.
 
14. These Guidelines are subject to change at any time. The moderator's
     word is the final authority.
