Sure, Bruce!  The file the way we've been posting it is 164 lines, so you
haven't missed much.  Here's part one of the rules (which you've seen) 8=o)
 . . . and it will be followed by part two which have gotten cut off on
the BBS you use.

ALL USERS WITH ACCESS TO THIS CONFERENCE MUST READ THIS.  BY POSTING
MESSAGES IN THIS CONFERENCE, YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ABIDE BY THE RULES
OF THIS CONFERENCE AS LISTED HERE.
In compliance with FidoNet Echo Policy, these rules will be posted no
less than once per month, and nothing in these rules will supersede or
replace any valid FidoNet rule or policy!
PURPOSE:
~~~~~~~~
The FidoNet DISNEY conference is for like-minded individuals to discuss
_all_ things DISNEY, from the classic motion pictures of yesterday, today
and tomorrow; to DISNEY television, both animated and live-action; to the
world's greatest vacation destinations in Anaheim, Lake Buena Vista,
Tokyo, and Marne-la-Valee; to DISNEY software; and to anything else you
can think of to discuss about DISNEY.  Everyone is welcome here, in the
"happiest conference on Earth!"
RULES AND POLICIES:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
=>Please keep your discussions on topic...as moderators, we will not
"jump down your throat" for straying from strict center, but if you find
yourself drifting away from pure DISNEY, please return to the topic, or
take your messages to E-Mail (private netmail *not* posted to the Disney
conference).  If we feel a thread has gone on long enough, we will jump
in and say something to the effect that "this thread is over." At that
point, you may continue the thread in question ONLY in E-Mail or on a
more appropriate Fidonet conference.
=>If you see something going off-topic, please ignore it, or let us
know in E-Mail...replies to off-topic messages just make things worse!
Also, a lot of our moderating is done via private netmail, so don't
assume that just because you don't see a public reminder about the
rules that you are allowed to stray from them.  Questioning or
discussion of these rules is off-topic from the beginning, except that
the moderators reserve the right to post special messages relating to
policy and rules from time to time as necessary.  This will be done by
us with messages posted to the echo itself when we feel a public
reminder of the echo rules is necessary.
(Continued in next message.)
