THE RULES FOR MINDLESS CHATTER..  NEW Millennium Moxie!
TAG           CHATTER
TITLE         Mindless Chatter Conference
DESC          A conference devoted to babbling on and on about utter
DESC          nonsense, for those in the United States, Canada and all
DESC          other parts unknown. People who post serious topics, personal
DESC          messages, BBS ads, or advertising of ANY KIND will be verbally
DESC          chastised by everybody in the whole blamed echo.  THIS IS YOUR
DESC          ONLY WARNING!  Messages are light-hearted, with no chance of
DESC          accidental seriousness. A perfect place for stressed-out
DESC          persons to find fast relief. Hershey Bars allowed. Meatloaf
DESC          allowed. Aardvarks allowed.  Nose picking allowed. Cat jokes
DESC          allowed.  Suspend your reality at the door and be ready to make
DESC          fun of yourself.  No gross profanity allowed, unless expressed
DESC          with force by the MODERATOR. Math proofs and box tops will
DESC          help, but not much.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
An Explanation Of Implied Rules So That Even The Most Ignorant Person
Has An Opportunity To Learn Them Painlessly Before We Kick Your Butt!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

1)  NO ADVERTISING! This includes BBS ADS, MLM ADS, ADS for lost
    animals, ADS for humanitarian appeals, ADS for lost relatives,
    living or dead, requests for body parts or labor, Wal-Mart Specials,
    Lutefisk Nose Clamps, Matzoh Balls and Parchesi Boards.  Don't mess
    with me, I'm married to a red head.

1.275) Don't even THINK about applying for Membership unless you are willing
    to send $127.50 for Drivelling Papers, Phunny Hats, Decoder Rings and
    any other souveniers we might dream up.  And don't be surprised if you
    don't RECEIVE any of the aformentioned items.  We make absolutely
    NO CLAIMS about our honesty here.. only that you'll regret your visit.

2)  If you make comments to other peoples' messages, or are annoying in
    any way, you are in serious danger of being drafted as the Moderator.
    This is a PUBLIC ECHO. No private messages are possible, encouraged
    or tolerated.  Any of these words you do not understand will be
    painfully explained to you by the resident dwarves.

3)  Be it hereby known that we reserve the right to poke fun at ourselves,
    Catholics, Protestants, JWs, Mormons, Jews, Muslims, homosexuals,
    heterosexuals, androgenous people, asexuals, celibates, televangelists,
    witches, cats, dogs, squirrels, fish, waterfowl, boars, ethnical people,
    unethnical people, Gregorian Chanters, stone masons, gondaloons,
    bedoobies and passflooses, or you'll be in for a spankie. Any SERIOUS
    discussion of ANY kind will be met with LARGE PILES OF PIGEON 
    and last year's supply of boiled kale and lutefisk.

4)  All things being equal, The Moderator shall reserve the power to
    slap you around suddenly and for no apparent reason.. just for the
    ugly thrill of it.  When YOU get to be Moderator, YOU can make the rules.

5)  This is NOT the FLAME conference.  Mild, gentle flames are acceptable
    for a Newbie who didn't bother to read these rules before barging in
    without a BARGE license.  HOWEVER, blatent profanity or prolonged abuse
    will NOT be tolerated under any circumstances. If you MUST blow off steam,
    USE NETMAIL, or Lou Dripkin will teach you the EWE DANCE.

6)  For heaven's sake, don't spout off about your political observations.
    Nobody cares, least of all ME.  There are other places in
    FIDONET and the internet to go for that, all of which shall all remain
    nameless.  If you persist in this kind of behavior, we will send our
    cousins (Nunzio and Guido, the Jewish Flatulators) over to your house
    to perform rhinoplasty on your goiter, or some other such disgusting and
    equally rewarding tripe.  So, don't  off the Moderator.

6.5) And last, but not least, NO PUFTAS!
