> 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
> removal from the List.

> -----------
>
> 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.
