       PLEASE READ. This document
       contains RV9-List policies and information
       for new and old subscribers.
       Understanding the RV9-List policies will

       *** Quick Start Guide to List Features
       ***
       ******************************************
      
         There are many features
       available on the Matronics Email Lists and each
         one is described in detailed
       below. However, using the List Navigator
         you can quickly access the
       complete set of features available for this
         List. The List Navigator
       can be found at the following URL:
      
           
           http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?RV9-List
      
      
       ****************************************
       *** How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe
       ***
       ****************************************
      
         Simply go to the Web Page shown
       below and enter your email address and
         select the List(s) that you
       wish to subscribe or unsubscribed from. You
         may also use the handy "Find"
       function to determine the exact syntax of 
         your email address as it is
       subscribed to the List. Please see the 
         complete instructions at the
       top of the Web Page for more information.
         The Subscribe/Unsubscribe web
       page is:
      
           
           http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
      
         Note that you will receive TWO
       conformation emails regarding your subsciption
         process. The first
       verifies that your subscription/unsubsciption request
         was received, and the second
       confirms that the process has been completed.
      
         You should receive the first
       email within a few minutes of your request. 
         The second conformation will
       arrive in less than 24 hours. You cannot post
      
         until you receive the second
       conformation email message.
      
      
       *****************************
       *** How to Post a Message ***
       *****************************
      
         Send an email message to:
      
           
           rv9-list@matronics.com
      
         Your message will be
       redistributed to everyone currently subscribed
         to the List.
      
      
       *****************************************************
       *** SPAM Fighter - You Must be
       Subscribed to Post ***
       *****************************************************
      
         When a new post is received by
       the system, the From: line of the message
         is checked and compared against
       the current subscription list. If the
         email address is found, the
       message is passed on to the List Processor.
         If the email address isn't
       found in the current list of subscribers, it
         is dumped. This serves to
       very effectively thwart 99% of the SPAM that
         gets posted to the Lists.
      
         Remember, however, that the
       syntax of your email address is very important
         with regard to the
       configuration of your email application such as Outlook
         or Eudora. For example,
       the following two email addresses may be
         functionally equivalent, but
       only one would pass the Matronics Email SPAM
         test depending on which was
       syntax was subscribed to the given List:
      
           
           smith@machine.domain.com
      
           
           smith@domain.com
      
        Either email address syntax is
       alright, just be sure that you configure
        your email application to match
       *exactly* the address you've subscibed to 
        the List.
      
      
       **************************************
       *** Enclosure Support on the Lists ***
      
       **************************************
      
         Limited posting of enclosures
       such as pictures, documents, and spreadsheets
         is supported on the
       Lists. There are a number of restrictions, and these
         are detailed below.
       Please abide by the rules put forth regarding the
         content of enclosures.
      
         These are some of the features
       and limits of enclosures on the Matronics 
         Lists:
      
         1) Enclosures will only be
       posted to the Real Time version of the Lists.
      
         2) Enclosures will NOT be
       included in the Daily Digest version of the Lists.
      
         3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded
       on to the BBS Forum Web site.
      
         4) Enclosures will NOT be
       appended to the Archives.
      
         5) Enclosures will NOT be
       available in the List Browse feature.
      
         6) Only the following file
       types and extensions will be allowed:
      
           
           bmp doc dwg dxf gif jpg pdf png txt
       xls
      
          All other
       enclosures types will be rejected and email returned to
          sender. The
       enclosure types listed above are relatively safe from
          a virus standpoint
       and don't pose a particularly large security risk.
      
         7) !! All incoming enclosures
       will be scanned for viruses prior to posting
          to the List.
       This is done in real time and will not slow down
          the process of
       posting the message !!
      
      
         Here are some rules for posting
       enclosures. Failure to abide by these rules
      
         could result in the removal of
       a subscriber's email address from the Lists.
      
         1) Pay attention to what you
       are posting!! Make sure that the files
          you are enclosing
       aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB). Remember that there
          are still people
       checking they're email via dial up modem. If you post
          30MB worth of
       pictures, you are placing an unnecessary burden on these
          folks and the rest
       of us, for that matter.
      
         2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES
       DOWN!!! I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000
          pictures getting
       posted that are 3 or 4MB each. This is just 
         
       unacceptable. Use a program such as Photoshop to scale
       the picture
          down to something
       on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the
          file size to
       less-than 200KB, preferably much less.
      
          Microsoft has a
       really awesome utility available for free that allows
          you to Right-Click
       on a picture in Explorer and automatically 
          scale it down and
       resave it. This is a great utility - get it, use it!
          http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
          Look for the link
       "Image Resizer"
      
         3) !! This would seem to go
       without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Do not
          post anything that
       would be considered offensive by your grandmother.
          And you know what
       I'm saying; I don't want to see anything even 
          questionable. !!
      
         4) REMEMBER THIS: If you post a
       1MB enclosure to a List with 1000 members
          subscribed, your
       1MB enclosure must be resent 1000 times amounting
          to 1MB X 1000 = 1
       Gigabyte of network traffic!! BE CAREFUL and 
          BE COURTEOUS!
      
         Also see the section below on
       the Matronics Photo and File Share where
         you can have your files and
       photos posted on the Matronics web server
         for long time viewing and
       availability.
      
      
       *******************
       *** Digest Mode ***
       *******************
      
         Each day, starting at 12
       midnight PST US, a new 'digest' will be started.
         This digest will contain the
       same information that is currently appended 
         to the archive file. It
       has all of the headers except for the "From:"
         and "Subject:" lines removed,
       and includes a message separator consisting 
         of a line of underscores.
      
         Each day at 23:55 PST US, the
       day's messages as described above will be
         combined and sent as a single
       message to everyone on the digest email list.
      
         To subscribe to the digest
       list, use the same subscription web form 
         described above, and just
       select the Digest version of the List.
      
           
           http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
      
         Note that you *can* be
       subscribed to both the realtime and digest versions
         of the List at the same
       time. This is perfectly acceptable.
      
        Now some caveats:
      
         * Messages sent to
       "rv9-list-digest" will be forwarded to the standard
          email list. In
       other words, you cannot post messages only to the
          digest List.
      
         * If you are subscribed to both
       the regular List and the digest List, you
          will receive the
       realtime postings as well as the digest at the end of
          the day.
      
         * If you reply to the digest
       email, your message will be forwarded to the
          normal list associated
       with the digest. Important Note: Please change
          the subject line to
       reflect the topic of your response! Also, please 
          *do not include all or
       most of the digest in your reply*.
      
      
       ****************************
       *** List Digest Browser ***
       ****************************
      
         An archive of all the List
       Digests can be found online in either plain text
         or HTML format. These
       archives contain the exact Digest that was posted to
         the Digest email list on the
       given day. The Digest Archives can be found
         at the following location:

       *** The "DO NOT ARCHIVE" Message Flag

         At times, your message may
       concern something that is revelent only to a very
      
         small number of persons or to a
       limited area, and you may not wish to archive
      
         it. In such a case,
       simply put the following phrase anywhere in the 
         message:
      
           
           do not archive
      
         Your message will not be
       appended to the archive, but will be sent to List 
         email distribution as normal.

         Note that if your email address
       begins to cause problems such as bounced
         email, mailbox is filled, or
       any other errors, your address will be promptly
         removed from the List. If
       you discover that you are no longer receiving
         messages from the RV9-List, go
       to the following Web page, and look
         for your email address and a
       possible reason for your removal.
      
         The Matronics Email List uses
       utility called the "Email Weasel" that 
         automatically looks though the
       day's bounced email for addresses that 
         caused problems due to common
       things like "user is unknown", "mailbox 
         full", etc. If the Email
       Weasel removes your email address from the 
         Lists you will find record of
       it at the following URL:

         the web Forums.
      
         You may view all List content
       on the Forums without any special login.
         If you wish to post a message
       via the Web Forum interface, however, you
         will need to Register.
       This is a simple process that takes only a few
         minutes. A link to the
       Registration page can be found at the top of the
         main web Forums page.
       Note that registering on the Forum web site also
         enables you to send email posts
       to the Lists as well. You will also need to
      
         Subscribe to the respective
       Email List as described above to receive the
         Email Distribution of the List,
       however.

       *** Matronics Email List Wiki ***
       *********************************
      
       In an attempt to make it easy to store
       and find structured and often accessed 
       information, Matronics has installed a
       Wiki at:
      
           
           http://wiki.matronics.com
      
       The Wiki allows individuals to create
       web pages to contain useful information 
       for other users of the mailing lists
       and web site. Unlike an ordinary web page
      
       where the content needs to be submitted
       to Matronics for inclusion, the Wiki 
       permits the users to construct their
       own pages and have them visible immediately.
      
       While constructing pages for the Wiki
       is not difficult, some may not be 
       comfortable building pages. In
       that case, simply prepare the text and any 
       images and email it to:
      
           
          wiki-support@matronics.com
      
       One of the volunteers on that list will
       take your submission and construct 
       a Wiki page for you.
      
       Often someone produces a particularly
       useful posting in email one one of the 
       Lists that would be of general
       interest. In that case Matronics may take that 
       post and convert it into a Wiki page.

       note that the process of making the files and

       *** List Support Contributions ***
       **********************************
      
         The Matronics Lists are run
       *completely* through the support of it members.
         You won't find any PopUpAds,
       flashing Banner ads, or any other form of
         annoying commercialism on
       either the Email Messages or the List web pages
         associated with the Matronics
       Email Lists. Every year during November
         I run a low-key, low-pressure
       "Fund Raiser" where, throughout the month,
         I ask List members to make a
       Contribution in any amount with which they 
         are comfortable.
      
         I will often offer free gifts
       with certain contribution levels during the
         Fund Raiser to increase the
       participation. The gifts are usually donated
         by companies that are
       themselves List members.
      
         Your Contributions go directly
       to supporting the operation of the Lists
         including the high-speed,
       business-class Internet connection, server
         system hardware and software
       upgrades, and to partially offset the many
         many hours I spend running,
       maintaining, upgrading, and developing the
         variety of services found
       here.
      
         Generally Contributions range
       from $20 to $100 and are completely voluntary
         and non-compulsory. I ask
       only that if person enjoys the Lists and obtains
         value from them, that they make
       a Contribution of equal magnitude.
      
         Contributions are accepted
       throughout the year, and if you've just 
         subscribed, feel free to make a
       Contribution when you've settled in.
      
         The website for making SSL
       Secure Contributions is listed below. There are
         a variety of payment methods
       including Visa and MasterCard, PayPal, and
         sending a personal check.
      
         If you enjoy and value the
       List, won't you make a Contribution today to
         support its continued
       operation?

             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.
      
        - Occasional posts by vendors or
       individuals who are regularly 
         subscribed to a given List are
       considered acceptable. Posts by 
         List members promoting their
       respective products or items for sale 
         should be of a friendly,
       informal nature, and should not resemble 
         a typical SPAM message.
       The List isn't about commercialism, but 
         is about sharing information
       and knowledge. This applies to 
         everyone, including those who
       provide products to the entire 
         community. Informal
       presentation and moderation should be the 
         operatives with respect to
       advertising on the Lists.

         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.
      
        - Occasional posts by vendors or
       individuals who are regularly 
         subscribed to a given List are
       considered acceptable. Posts by 
         List members promoting their
       respective products or items for sale 
         should be of a friendly,
       informal nature, and should not resemble 
         a typical SPAM message.
       The List isn't about commercialism, but 
         is about sharing information
       and knowledge. This applies to 
         everyone, including those who
       provide products to the entire 
         community. Informal
       presentation and moderation should be the 
         operatives with respect to
       advertising on the Lists.
