> The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Cub-List.
> You are encouraged to read it carefully and to abide by the rules therein.
> Failure to use the Cub-List in the manner discribed below may result in

>
> YAK-LIST POLICY STATEMENT: The purpose of the Cub-List is to
> provide a forum of discussion for things related to the upkeep
> and flying the Cub series of aircraft. This Cub-List is intended
> for use by Cub pilots and enthusiasts. The List's goals
> are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
> high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster comaraderie
> among pilots; and to support the safe operation thereof. Reaching these
goals
> requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the
> Cub-List. To these ends, the following guidelines have been established
> for use of the List:
>
>
> - Please keep all posts related to Cubs at some level. Do not submit
> posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor,
> long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
>
> - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
> relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder, DON'T send it.
>
> - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
> that is growing in size at a ferocious rate. Try to be concise and
> terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
> responses.
>
> - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
> aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
> about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
> bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
> space in the archive.
>
> - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
> easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
> web page or FAQ first.
>
> - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
> your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
> easy to find threads in the archive.
>
> - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
> response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
> reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
> quoting entire original posts has the size of the archive can not be
> overstated! DO NOT DO THIS!
>
> - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
> then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
> "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
> response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
> your response with the original poster's email address.
>
> - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
> relevant to add, that will be of broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
> agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
> to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
>
> - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
> comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
> contribute something valuable.
>
> - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
> polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
> other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
> controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
> will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
