        The ENVIRON Echo was created to bring together individuals
        interested in discussing environmental topics together in a
        controllable forum where ideas, theories or just plain
        discussions can take place without childish activity that
        plagues many other fidonet echos.  The rules are very simple and
        extremely easy to follow.
        ENVIRON is to be carried ONLY BY FIDONET SYSTEMS.  Porting to
        other networks is NOT ALLOWED
        The Rules:
        1) All topics discussed MUST have some relationship to the
           environment in some manner.
        2) There will be NO toleration of FLAMES in this echo.  There
           was one incident where an individual tried to get around the
           rules because of their position in Fidonet.  Unfortunately
           for this person, they have been banned forever from the echo
           and almost lost their nodenumber.  I am not playing here.  I
           do mean business.
        3) ANY and ALL complaints MUST be sent via NETMAIL to 1:251/103
           Do NOT clutter the echo with whiny complaints about anyone.
        4) Anti-environmental discussions are allowed.  This is to allow
           the full spectrum of the issues at hand to be seen and will
           allow for the downside of an argument to be discussed.
           Anti-environmentalism is discouraged as it is what got us in
           this mess.
        5) The moderator is the ULTIMATE authority in this echo.  If you
           have a problem with the echo, do not go to the NEC or REC,
           come to me.  That's what I'm here for.
        6) The ENVIRON Echo is the sole property of the Moderator James
           Farrow and not the property of its participants.  Basically,
           I own the lecture theatre, if you want to use it, follow my
           rules.
        7) The use of Pseudos or fake names is NOT ALLOWED.  If you want
           to be excepted, netmail me with a good reason or too bad.
          
        8) Topics that are ILLEGAL or that could cause major political
           problems in the echo are not allowed.  We do not need a rebirth
           of the arguments for drug legalization (which has nothing to
           do with the environment) or abortions etc (the same applies).
                Punishment Procedure
        The moderator has TOTAL discretion on punitive actions.  Systems
        that offend the rules may find themselves out of the echo for
        anywhere from a week to a permanent removal.
                                Thank you
                                James Farrow
