 Posting Frequency: 1st of the month.

 This echo once again has a moderator/caretaker who actually
 participates in Fidonet.

 For those of you who might have tuned in by just linking to everything
 available at your uplink, here's some basic echo guidelines for you.

 The purpose of this conference is support for the Squish FTN mail
 processing software written by Scott Dudley.

 Squish is a companion to Maximus BBS and is a full featured mail
 processing package.

 Messages posted in this conference should pertain to Squish and Squish
 related software. Some ancillary packages such as Sqafix may have
 their own echoes. Those echomail conferences may be inactive however,
 so discussion of any software which can work with Squish format
 message bases is permitted and encouraged.
 
 Usual rules of echomail etiquette apply at all times in this echomail
 conference. NO test posts, etc. When a thread drifts off topic for the
 echo move it to an appropriate conference or to private mail.

 NO widget wars will be tolerated. This means operating systems, mail
 processor packages and BBS software. This does not mean that a
 discussion which addresses strengths and weaknesses of various pieces
 of software is automatically deemed off topic however. Those with
 common sense shouldn't have to be told when the line is crossed.

 Should there be a violation of these rules it will normally be
 addressed in netmail by the moderator(s) of this echomail conference.
 At most you will see a post to the thread from a moderator requesting
 that the thread be brought back into compliance with these posted rules
 and guidelines. This message will be addressed globally to all. Any
 other communication regarding rules violations or moderation issues
 will be handled by netmail only. Since this echomail conference is only
 relevant to system operators and those of point systems it is felt that
 netmail should be sufficient for dealing with other moderation issues.
 Posters who violate conference rules and guidelines more than once
 within the same thread may be subject to possible bannishment from the
 conference.

 I'd prefer not to have to go that route however. Difficult to enforce
 if somebody's intent on circumventing it, and most reasonable folks
 shouldn't need it.

 Gating this echomail conference outside Fidonet is not permitted.


 Mark Lewis, moderator
 Richard Webb, moderator emeritus
