[Elecraft] *** IMPORTANT *** PLEASE KEEP ALL POSTINGS CORDIAL

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

 From the Elecraft List Guidelines:

---

5. *** IMPORTANT ***  PLEASE KEEP ALL POSTINGS CORDIAL.
Restrain the urge to email someone admonishing them about a posting.
The last thing we want to do is to scare anyone off the list. Overly 
aggressive
postings and negative comments about other posters only serves to scare 
away new
potential list members.  Waiting over night before hitting 'send' really 
helps
to put things in perspective..

If you have a complaint about someone or a thread please email it directly
to me ( eric(at)elecraft.com ) and I'll address it.


5a. Please -do not- post publicly or privately asking people to stop a 
particular thread, no matter how long, off topic or repetitive it gets. 
Email me instead ;-) .

I will step in when I feel it is necessary to end a thread.

5a1. Please exercise restraint in posting when a thread is getting heavily
covered. 10 to 20+ posts on one topic in a day is usually excessive.

5b. Do not post any direct attacks or snide comments directed at a
list member. Enthusiastic arguments are encouraged, but please keep
everything cordial. Members who verbally attack another (either via the 
list
or via direct email) will be removed from the list.

As the 'official' list moderator, I'll jump in as necessary to keep 
everything
orderly. I do this off line and occasionally to the list when it is
appropriate. Our goal is to keep the Elecraft list a fun, informative
central clearing house for Elecraft information and enthusiasm.
