-=> Quoting David Hallford to All <=-
 DH> USA_EURLINK Echo Rules - Short Form and Reminder
 DH> 1. No insults (flames) or name calling. No handles or aliases.
 DH> 2. No BBS or commercial ads, no "fast cash" or "get-rich-quick" posts.
 DH> 3. English is the designated COMMON language here. Posts in another
 DH> language must be accompanied by a FULL translation.
 DH> 4. Use your editor and limit quotes. A one-line reply does not warrant
 DH> a full message to be quoted nor is it necessary to quote tag, origin
 DH> and seen-by lines.  Think before posting!
 DH> 4a. *** Be aware that some BBS's along the way do NOT have an
 DH> umlimited capacity for messages in all of the echoes they carry. The
 DH> 35 to 40 messages you post might very well *bump* the 2 or 3
 DH> messages John Doe posted. Perhaps 25 of your messages get through to
 DH> their intended destination but all of John Doe's messages might be
 DH> deleted. 
 DH> 5. This is a North-Central-South AmericaEurope "chat" but not a 
 DH> "chatter" echo. "Chatter" is meaningless messages between two or 
 DH> more people which have no meaning other than to the poster &
 DH> recipient.  "Chat" echos are ones where discussions and information
 DH> are passed  along as well as 'hellos'.
 DH> 6. Above all, always remember to be friendly and courteous. Posts that
 DH> are not should be ignored rather than dignified with a reply.
 DH> 7. No more answering the WHERE ARE YOU lists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 DH> Conduct of participants.
 DH> 8.  Flaming of individuals is considered annoying and is strictly
 DH> prohibited.  Disagreement of ideas is expected and allowed, but
 DH> be civil with other participants.  Everyone is entitled to an
 DH> opinion and at some point, participants are expected to agree to
 DH> disagree.  The use of a "smiley" in no way diminishes a flame.
 DH> Take your flames to netmail or an approriate echo.
 DH> 9.  Participants are instructed to IGNORE off-topic and flame
 DH> messages. Please leave the moderating to the moderators.  Messages
 DH> regarding the moderation of this echo, or the actions of the
 DH> moderators, are to be sent NETMAIL -- discussion on the moderation
 DH> of the echo are OFF-TOPIC for the echo itself.  The position of
 DH> moderator in this echo is not an elected position.
 DH> 10. Failure to comply with this conference policy will result in:
 DH> 1)  A warning to the offending node or individual,
 DH> be it a public warning in the echo or a private
 DH> warning via netmail.
 DH> 2)  Repeated offense(s) will result in your feed being
 DH> severed. 
 DH> 11. When posting messages in *any* format, remember that a series of
 DH> dashes can cause some BBS and/or mail handling software to barf
 DH> and destroy your message. Always replace part of a series of
 DH> dashes with some other keyboard symbol, such as, a plus (+) or an
 DH> asterisk (*). 
     Okay, I understand all the rules, and the only thing I can't figure 
     out is the no aliases. I got ragged out for it, and didn't even know 
     why. I would love to change it, but it seems to automatically be there
     and I tried to change it to my real name and it wouldn't let me. How 
     can I avoid being chewed out again for something I don't know how to
     fix? It downloads my mail under my alias...can you help me out?
