Description/Topicality
  This is the  International FidoNet Echomail Conference TELEMATE, paid
for by those systems which help distribute it;  so, let's try to help
keep costs down.  Its topic:  The Telemate communications program,
Giflink file transfer protocol, and all software/hardware directly
related to the use and/or enhancement of Telemate communications.
                      1. Moderator Policy/Continuity
  1.  All rules violations are to be addressed ONLY by the Moderator,
      Russ Walker(1/203/1721).
  2.  Questioning or discussion of Moderator policy in the open echo is
      off topic, except that the Moderator reserves the right to post
      special messages relating to such policy and rules from time to
      time for the edification of all participants.  I welcome, will
      listen to and consider, any suggestion or criticism sent by
      private hub or host-routed NetMail.
  3.  The Moderator shall have the right:
      a. To appoint Co-Moderator(s) or Alternate Moderator(s)
      b. If these rules do not cover dealing with a way of being
         annoying, to make a new rule to fit the occasion.
                   2. Message handling and restrictions
  1.  Messages must remain on the topic of this conference as described
      above and in the current EchoList.
  2.  Foul or obscene language, personal invectives, and "widget wars"
      will not be tolerated.  Flames should go to the FLAME Echo.
  3.  Personal messages, chit chat and nonsense are not permitted.
      Individual thank you messages are personal, and should be sent by
      NetMail.
  4.  Encrypted, encoded or rotated messages, and debug scripts are
      prohibited.
  5.  Messages in this echo are considered public domain.
  6.  Keep the quoted portions of your messages SHORT.  Excessive
      quoting adds to expense and overhead.  Quote just enough to
      identify the thread of the conversation for other users.  Use
      enough of the original material to be sure the thread IS
      identified.
  7.  The use of visible ASCII (control) characters ASCII 31 and below
      is prohibited in this echo.  Use of eight bit characters above 127
      will be permitted, subject to the following restriction:
      No use of such characters to create "cute" quote boxes,
      multi-line signatures, nor for purely decorative purposes
      in messages.
      This rule will remain in effect unless I get reports of system
      disruptions or until FidoNet technical standards change.
  8.  Multiple line signatures are not allowed, unless authorized in
      advance by the Moderator.  Signatures where the person's name is
      on the first line, and their title or company position is on
      subsequent lines are allowed within reason.  The Moderator will
      decide on a case-by-case basis which signature lines (if any)
      violate this rule.
  9.  If using an alias or handle, messages must be signed with a real
      name, unless the Moderator is advised by NetMail of the real name
      of the participant and the reason for use of an alias or handle.
 10.  At no time will the echo be gated to another network without
      prior consent of the moderator.
