Rules of the Paradox echo
25 June 1995
This is the International Fidonet and RBBS Paradox echo.
This echo is for civilized, mature discussion. It is
assumed that all participants are willing to behave
professionally while participating in echo exchanges.
Personal attacks and vilification have no place here.
Appropriate
topics include:
-PAL code solutions and recommendations.
-Interactive Paradox use, such as queries, reports,
forms, and configuration, and including both network
and single-user installation.
-Add-in, add-on, and utility software for use with
Paradox. This includes separate products with an
interoperability feature or design that relates to
Paradox. (The PXACCESS toggle between the DOS
versions of Quattro and Pdox, or the PXPASS password-
breaking software for Paradox tables, for example.)
-Products that are directly related to Paradox
in design or use. Examples would be Quattro Pro
and ObjectVision. dBase for Windows would also
fall into this category if the subject of the
thread related to its use of Paradox objects
and file structures.
-Books, periodicals, newsletters, references, manuals,
and any other source for info on Paradox issues.
-Information on events, conferences, training courses,
and any other organized endeavor that contributes to
furthering Paradox's use, application, and user under-
standing. This includes any and all User Groups
or Bulletin Boards focused on Paradox. This also
includes discussions on the publisher of Paradox,
Borland International.
-Solicitation of developer or consultant's services or
the offering of employment that focuses on or requires
Paradox skills. The advertising of "services for
hire" or "job wanted", however, is considered annoying
behavior and is discouraged. If in doubt, contact the
Moderator off-line via NetMail, CompuServe, or
telephone.
-Good humor and tasteful jokes are encouraged. It's OK
as long as no one gets hurt by humor at their expense.
Remember that the echo is intended to be informative
and fun. If there is any hint of sexism, racism, or
any other kind of "ism", don't post it.
Rules, policy, style, etc.:
(nothing below shall dilute Fidonet or RBBS policy)
-Please speak politely; no flames or obscenities and
do *not* quote filth.
-Please quote only that which relates to your reply.
Do your part to help stamp out "QUOTAHOLISM".
-Announcements of products or services are allowed, but
should not become the subject of extended "threads".
The Moderator reserves the right to declare an "end"
to such threads should they develop.
-If your "From: " is an alias, include your real name
in the message. This may be waived at the discretion
of the Moderator if there is a compelling explanation
sent via netmail or CompuServe.
