[Rhodes22-list] Charter Preamble

[Michael Meltzer]

Well the whole thing kinda looks like this:

Welcome to the Rhodes 22 Owner's Group Mailing List. This list is open to
everyone with an interest in Rhodes Sailboats. It is an automated email
distribution list where messages addressed to the list are copied to every
list member's mailbox. Traffic varies from one to 40 messages a day.


The list is maintained by rhodes22.org as a courtesy to Rhodes Sailboats
Fans worldwide. It is hoped that the list will promote discussion about
Rhodes Sailboats and provide members with a means of sharing their interests
and experiences.

CHARTER: rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org



The rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org group will be open to discussion of all
subjects specifically referring to Rhodes sailboats or, Rhodes sailors. The
focus of this group includes, but is not limited to:

* Encouraging the understanding and discussion of Rhodes sailboats or Rhodes
sailors, in the many ways people wish to define them.

* Acting as a source of information for Rhodes sailboats or Rhodes sailors
worldwide and for people planning to buy/sell/repair/learn about Rhodes
sailboats or Rhodes sailors.



* Providing a forum for the development and promotion Rhodes sailboats or
Rhodes sailors' culture, history, traditions and economy.

* Any other subject that might be found at a sailor's bar or the clubhouse
bar, including, Rhodes sailboats or Rhodes sailors' travels, events, family,
jokes, quotations, pets, etc.



* The level of discussion does not have to be fit for a child, but some good
taste is expected.

 

Binaries and Formatting:

Attaching images (tif, jpg, gif) to an email is acceptable. Our server will
convert these to a web link

 

Case:

Please use mixed case when posting (Upper and lower case letters), typing
words in uppercase means you are SHOUTING.



Quoting:
Place new material at the top of the post and quote what you are replying to
below. That makes it simple to find out what is being said. You are
encouraged to edit down the quoted material.

HTML mail:
A lot of the email programs (Netscape and Outlook among others) can send
their email with embedded HTML. Embedded HTML can cause some of the list
members to have trouble reading their mail due to "browser wars", not
reading their mail with a web browser and double messages in digest mode.
Members are encouraged to set their programs to send "plain text" email.

Subject Line:

Please set or change the subject line to reflect the true subject of the
post. For example, "Subject: anchors" might be turned into "Subject: gas
tank was anchors". If a joke (or any questionable material) is being posted
please indicate it on the subject line. For example, "Subject: Monday's
Humor (jokes)"

Netiquette:
Posts to the group are expected to be considerate of other readers. Personal
abuse, flames, and obscenities are *not* appreciated; but we are
sailors.......

Anonymous email:
It is expected that users will provide their name in the email and will sign
same.  We like to know to whom we are talking.



Social Interaction/Manners:
To a certain extent, the interaction is about what you would expect in any
informal social setting, for example, a bar.  It is recommended that you get
to know people first and introduce yourself (about the same social rules
that you would use to meet any new group of people). There is a high level
of chitchat on the list, and what you might think is insulting to a group or
region might only be people kidding each other after knowing each other for
years.  As in any bar, the subjects of politics and religion can lead to
heated augments and bar fights. These might be best avoided.

The need to participate:
It is recognized that a group is only whoever posts to it, no more and no
less. We can only talk about what people post about. You earn respect on the
list by your postings and trying to help each other, you cannot demand it.
Most sailing topics we have talked about at one time or another already, we
chit chat in the mean time, waiting to answer questions or for a new
subject/story.  If you want to know something, please post it, the more
detail the better. If someone is trying to help you please answer their
reasonable questions. If you can help someone, again, post it. Try to repay
the knowledge you may have gained.
