                        THE FIDONET GUITAR ECHO

                        echo posting guidelines

                   Last modified:  June 4, 2010

By posting in this echomail conference you indicate that you
have read and will comply with these rules  and  guidelines.
Sysops should use whatever means are available via their bbs
package of choice to make these  rules  available  to  users
when first entering the conference.

This  fidonet echomail conference is intended for discussion
of topics relevant to playing the guitar or the bass.

Although this is an international conference we ask that you post in
ENglish only please.

All posters must use their real name. IF your real name does
not  appear  in  the from field then it should appear in the
signature of the message.
If for personal or professional reasons you would wish to post here
using other than your real name please netmail the moderator at the
above shown fidonet address.  Performers and entertainers often
would prefer to perform under a stage name, or would prefer to enjoy a
forum such as this one without being plagued by the problems that might
result.  IF you would wish to participate in this echo using other
than your real name please netmail an explanation of your reasoning.
Reasonable requests to waive the real name requirement will be granted.
IF such a request is granted the privacy of the requesting party
will be protected by the moderator(s) of this echomail conference.

Please conduct yourself in this echo as a rational thinking adult.

This moderator  prefers  to  handle  moderation  issues  via
private  mail  wherever  possible.  Sysops  who do not offer
users netmail are asked to convey any communication  addressed
to a user and sent by netmail to that user.

Musicians  are a gregarious bunch, and topics can drift from
the stated subject quite easily I've noted  over  the  years
while participating  in  many  forums  for  musicians  and support
personnel. Your moderator will interpret these  rules  quite
loosely  so  as  to  make  this  echo  fun and beneficial to
participants. However, flaming  and  personal  attacks  will
*not* be tolerated.

Please  do  not  gate  this  echo outside of fidonet without
asking  permission   of   the   moderator   and   conference
participants.  Gating  requests  may  be granted if the gate
works in both directions reliably.

As  is  customary  with  fidonet  echomail  conferences   we
discourage  multiple  line  signatures  and  high  bit ascii
except where allowed by conventions such as  the  header  of
the message to convey proper names of individuals, etc.

So,  come  on  in, pull up a chair and enjoy discussing that
musical instrument that has brought  so  much  joy  to  your
life.

WHat you don't use you may lose! Tell your fellow guitar and
bass guitar enthusiasts about this echomail conference.

This moderator  considers  himself  the  custodian  of  this
echomail  conference.  ONe of the duties of such a custodian
is of course keeping the echo  compliant with requirements
for backbone carriage.  The  echo  actually  belongs to its
participants. THerefore, if the echo moderator can no longer
serve  as  moderator/custodian all necessary information and materials will be
turned  over  to  a  new  moderator  chosen  by  the  echo's
participants, or an individual who has expressed an interest
in serving as moderator. A vote of echo users will always be
preferred  should  the  moderator  choose  not  to  continue
however.

This echomail conference was created in 1992.  THe fidonet guitar echo
has been carried on the z1  backbone for  over  a  decade,  and  once
was a very popular echomail conference. Help us keep it  on  the
fidonet  backbones  by participating  and  telling  your  fellow
guitar  and  bass enthusiasts about it.

THanks for participating in the guitar echo.

Richard Webb, Echo moderator

MOderator emeritus:  Gary Gilmore
