For all of those new to the FILM echo conference and for those who are not 
aware of them, here are the guidelines for proper participation in the 
FILM echo conference.
We are here for a civilized discussion among friends interested in movies 
and all other types of visual entertainment. This can include not only 
feature films and shorts prepared for theatrical distribution but also 
videos either rented or bought, films seen on network or cable television, 
and all other suitable programming on the various networks and cable 
channels that users have at their disposal.
We welcome technical discussion on video or VCR topics; however, the main 
thrust of this conference is news and views of films and their makers. For 
satellite programming, cable-TV regulatory, stereo sound equipment, music, 
and sound recording discussions, see their various Fidonet specific 
echoes.
As in any Fidonet echo conference, we welcome any discussion that does not 
involve name calling, personal attacks, or profanity. Because we want this 
echo available to the greatest number of users, please abide by the adage 
that this forum is actually someone's home and you are a guest. You should 
practice considerate behavior at all times. Users who flagrantly break 
echo guidelines and ignore posted warnings by me will be dealt with 
through their sysops and may be denied access to this echo through Fidonet 
distribution channels.
Sometimes users post off-topic messages. If you see someone doing this, 
PLEASE IGNORE IT! I will handle the correction. It costs sysops all across 
the country unnecessarily when many messages correcting someone are posted 
when one (from me) would have done the job. Think before you post.
It is my pleasure to serve as the echo moderator of FILM, and I look 
forward to the fascinating discussions that future postings will no doubt 
generate.
Mat Hough, FILM echo moderator.
