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

    Here are some Osh photos, left Sat 7pm with less than 50% showplanes left. The EAA has messed up with their early start dates.

    --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "john" <frmrjohn@netonecom.net> Thanks to the Baraboo Gang for the wonderful weekend. After helping Jim blast the dust out of his hanger it was a fun weekend. Bob came by the trailer about 9:00 pm and we had a short and enjoyable chat. Very sorry to hear of Estelles'passing, our condulences are with you. Had a great ride in Malcolms' W-10. Richard and I did a jungle breakfast for the guys on sat and sunday, hope no one got to meet Sam and Elly. Thanks Danny for the help on the Coffee. We hope to be better prepared to do this next, as Jim has given us his blessing. Made it home in the ole farm truck without mishap, from Oshkosh sunday evening, Aug 1st, about 9;00 pm.

Thanks to all at Baraboo and OSH for the help and company. To Jim for the shop use, help and supplies, to Dan for being so helpful, to Dave Conrad for a helping hand, to George for being social director, to Earl Luce for showing me how to move the rear spar carry-through without recovering the fuselage, to Laura Luce for watching our Tailwind when we went sightseeing, to Jim Stanton for history and information, to Fearless Fred for entertainment, Donna for transport and company, and to everyone and anyone that I may have forgotten here. Our condolences to Bob Danner on the loss that we all share.
