    Subject: Official Usage Guideline [Please Read] [Monthly Posting]
    DNA: do not archive --> RV9-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com> Dear Lister, Please read over the RV9-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete RV9-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/RV9-List.FAQ.html Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator ****************************************************************************** RV9-List Usage Guidelines ****************************************************************************** The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the RV9-List. You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the RV9-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. RV9-List Policy Statement The purpose of the RV9-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. ------- [This is an automated posting.]

    Subject: Re: [RV7Yahoo] Aluminum Vents Sale Posting
    --> RV9-List message posted by: "Fabian Lefler" <fablef@bellsouth.net> 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
