Thank you,

******************************************************************************
RV3-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the RV3-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the RV3-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
RV3-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the RV3-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. 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 camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List 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 about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary 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 the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- 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
to add that is relevant and has a 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.

Fabian,
Thank you for making me aware of a potential cost savings in the building of my
RV3.
I can't believe anyone had a problem with a post that was not critical of anyone
or anything but was purely informational.
I guess it gives some people a rush to see their name in print and they would use
any means to read it there.
To the person harassing Fabian about his post on the air vents.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.
The list and yahoo group exists for one reason and one reason only... to
share information about building airplanes. Being a builder myself, I
am sensitive to that. Heck, I am the first one to admit that if I had
to open my e-mail just to sort out what is building related and what is
not, I would unsubscribe immediately. Look at the Sport Aviation
magazine these days. Can anyone guess what the building articles vs
advertisement ratio is? I bet you it is 2 to 1 in favor of advertising.
As such, after receiving an e-mail message directly from an upset list
member, I thought the least I could do was to apologize. I will confess
that I was bothered by the excessive number of four letter words used in
his e-mail, not to mention the detailed instructions as to what to do
with my vents, which involved using parts of my body that never intended
to suffer that much.
I try very hard not to post silly questions to the list, or answer other
member's questions, just so that I can close the e-mail with my company
name below it. Nor do I regularly advertise that I have something in
stock on sale just to increase sales for that month. I had hope that
before anyone complained about me, he or she would realize that the
person who posted the message doesn't do it on a regular basis. I guess
that doesn't always work with hotheads.
I'll make this e-mail short and sweet and say that, in the future, I
will let my website, and previously satisfied customers, do the
advertisement for me.
Hope to meet you all in the near future.
Fabian

Amen Fred, I also had no problem with Fabian's post and appreciated his candor.
To the bozo who complained, here's how we settle differences in fighter squadrons.....outside!
