im without permission is not acceptable. (That creeps into 
    the realm of plagiarism.)  
         Any notice that it has been posted without permission doesn't 
    protect any BBS carrying this echo from possible prosecution.  
         Sysops, if you feel uncomfortable about messages containing 
    copyrighted material, it is acceptable to delete them from your 
    board.  On occasion, the Moderator will place long distance calls 
    to the copyright holder to verify permission.

o   SYSOP RESPONSIBILITY:  Sysops who receive ANY of the 8 SB- prefixed 
    SpaceBase[tm] space news echoes are responsible for all messages 
    which enter into any of these echoes from their systems.  This 
    includes messages from users of the system and any points.

o   Sysops are also responsible for ensuring that the 4 Read Only space 
    news echoes are set up so as to allow NO Posting into those 4 echoes.

o   (Sysops, please do not allow your users to post inappropriate or 
    abusive messages in the 3 public echoes.)

o   NONCOMPLIANCE:  If you cannot abide by and comply with the rules, 
    your sysop will be requested to cut your access to these echoes.  

    If inappropriate posting continues then you will endanger the feed of 
    the BBS you are participating from, as we will be forced to protect 
    the integrety of these echoes by asking the system(s) uproute to 
    disconnect your BBS's SB- prefixed echo feed.

o   ORIGIN LINES & NETWORK ADDRESS: All messages must have a FidoNet 
    compatible Origin line which should contain the BBS's name.  
         In addition, it is requested that the Origin line contain 
    your city and country.  That way folks around the world will know 
    where your BBS is participating in this international service from.
         The ORIGIN line must end with a legal (i.e., listed in a 
    nodelist) Net/node address.  If the Net/node is not a FidoNet 
    number, then the network (AlterNet, FamilyNet, EggNet etc.) should 
    be identified in the Origin line text so NetMail replies can be 
    properly routed.  
         In addition, could you please put post these rules so that your 
    users can read them BEFORE they begin participation in this 
    conference. 
         Finally, if you have been contacted by the Moderator or a 
    designated Assistant Moderator (as listed below) regarding use or 
    abuse of the Space Echo from your board, could you please respond 
    promptly via netmail to 1:153/719 if requested to do so.

o   Welcome to the SpaceBase(tm) Family of Echos.
