Rules for FidoNet's OLDCARS Echo
                         *** Revised 3-18-96 ***
   The following are the rules for the OLDCARS FIDO-NET echo conference.
 This conference is carried on the FIDO-NET backbone and is moderated by 
Gerry 
 Calhoun at 1:2004/200. These rules will be subject to change if a change 
seems
 needed or is requested. Enforcement of the rules will be handled in the
 echo and/or via net-mail. Repeated violations of the rules may be considered 
 grounds for the offending node to have its link to this conference cut.
 Rule #1:
	Please try to keep your language suitable to all ages. Remember this 
	message base is open to all age groups, and some may take offense to 
	foul language.
 Rule #2:
	The topic here is OLD CARS. What makes a car an old car? For the
        purpose of this echo, a pre 1975 car in general is qualifed to be
        considered an OLD CAR. But this is a very flexible rule as limited
        production cars of newer vintage may be considered on topic. If in
        doubt, ask the Moderator.
 Rule #3:
	No unsolicited commerical sales announcements please. This echo is
	carried by sysops who foot the bills out of their own pockets for the
	most part. If sommebody asks for a source of a CAR-RELATED item, feel
	free to offer advice on where to look for something, or to mention that
	you have what they are looking for. If you have something which you
	feel may be of interest to somebody here and are NOT in the business
	of selling that item and it is OLD CAR-related, you may post about
	it here.
 Rule #4:
	No unsolicited BBS ads here. If you know of a system which has a 
	program or file that somebody has asked about, feel free to post the 
	name, phone number and location of the system, but no messages saying
	"Call this system now" type of thing.
 Rule #5:
	Keep the message-quoting to a minimum, please. Most BBS's are run out
	of the pockets of private sysops, and nobody wants to pay for (or see)
	a 20-line message quoted in full to have somebody else say "I Agree".
 Rule #6:
	Keep the personal attacks to a minimum, please. Everybody has seen 
	messages posted by people who strike you as complete fools, but
	you do not have to call a person names in order to give an answer or
	correct him/her on a point. Hold the flames to a mimimum and try to 
	keep this a fun place. 
 These are all the rules for now. If any other points come up in the future, 
 they will be addressed and added to this list if necessary. If there are
 any questions or comments about these rules, address them to me, 
 Gerry Calhoun, via net-mail ONLY at 1:2004/200.
