Internet netiquette dictates that the copyright of an e-mail message is retained by the author of the e-mail message. This is true of all messages, even those that are conversational in nature. While the Internet is a very public place, the existence of a message on the Internet does not make it proper to publish the same message in a magazine, repost it to another list or even to forward it privately to someone you know.

No portion of this list, including messages, recipes, addresses or articles may be used, forwarded, or cross-posted for ANY reason without the author's express written permission. If permission is obtained, that permission must be
attached as applicable.

No copyrighted material may be entered on any messages on the board without the consent of the copyright holder. If copyright material is posted the the board and anyone sees it we ask that you contact the board owner (Ed Frawley) and the material will be immediately deleted from the board. A board member will be warned one time and if that member posts additional copyrighted material they will be permanently banned from the board.

Please be careful too about forwarding things out of context. Once you have obtained the authors permission to use their message elsewhere, be certain you include the entire message or conversation and not just one portion of it.

Posts will NOT be used to harass other members in ANY way. If it is found that posts are being used in any form of harassment or in a self-promotional
manner, the offending parties will be permanently banned from this list.

Please also be careful about what you say in a post. As mentioned previously, the Internet is a very public place and that includes this list. E-mail has now been ruled admissible as evidence in a court of law in most countries, so before you hit the SEND button think about what you are saying, where you are saying it and how you have said it.

Posts are the express opinions of the authors, and are not the opinions of the List Owner or Moderators. The list owners and moderators are not
responsible in anyway for messages posted by others to the list, nor are they responsible for how these messages are used once they are in the public domain.

The board is going to be down for a couple of hours on Wes. Feb 22- 2002 We are upgrading the program that runs the board to the latest version. Sorry for the problems. I am looking fore word to new features.

A warning on the use of Private Messages - I was informed tonight that a couple of members had gotten extremly inflammatory and predjudical emails in the form of a PRIVATE MESSAGE. If you are a board member that this happens to, please forward it on to me. If indeed it is an email similar to what was described to me tonight I will block the person that sent it from the board and deal with this individual on a personal basis. This WILL NOT BE TOLERATED ON MY BOARD !!Those who do this will not like the ramifications of what I do with them.
