     Commercial traders are welcome. All other discusion is off 
     topic, take it elsewhere.
 
2.   If you are not offering goods for sale or responding to a message
     with an offer to buy, you are off topic.

7.   Please keep the amount of quoted text down to the bare
     essentials. Do not quote SEEN-BY and/or "* Origin:" information
     unless it is absolutely necessary.

8.   If you think a message is off topic, chances are I do as well. Let me
     deal with people who infringe on the rules. If you answer an off topic
     message that puts you off topic also.

9 .  If the rules of the conference are broken, the offender will
     be given a warning or posting suspension.  In exceptional
     circumstances an immediate ban may be issued.

     are not considered off-topic, however, neither are they the topic
     for general discussion by anyone other than the Moderator and the
     person being addressed.

11.  Discussions on ANY of the rulings made by the Moderator are NOT
     permitted in the echo, if you have a problem, you *Netmail* _me_.

12.  The moderator reserves the right to make ad hoc rulings for
     situations not covered by the above rules.
