***************> *** 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 c
ompared against the current subscription list. If the> email address is
found, the message is passed on to the List Processor.> If the email ad

is serves to very effectively thwart 99% of the SPAM that> gets posted t
o the Lists.> > Remember, however, that the syntax of your email address
is very important> with regard to the configuration of your email appli
cation such as Outlook> or Eudora. For example, the following two email

to the given List:> > smith@machine.domain.com> >

**********************> > Limited posting of enclosures such as pictures

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 Li
sts.> > 2) Enclosures will NOT be included in the Daily Digest version o
f the Lists.> > 3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded on to the BBS Forum Web

closures will NOT be available in the List Browse feature.> > 6) Only th

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 enclosure
s 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 em
ail address from the Lists.> > 1) Pay attention to what you are posting!
! Make sure that the files> you are enclosing aren't HUGE (greater t
hat 1MB). Remember that there> are still people checking they're ema
il via dial up modem. If you post> 30MB worth of pictures, you are p
lacing 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 i
s 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.> > Mic
rosoft has a really awesome utility available for free that allows> y
ou 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!> ht
tp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx>
Look for the link "Image Resizer"> > 3) !! This would seem to go witho
ut 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 s
aying; 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 Matro
nics web server> for long time viewing and availability.> > > > ********

TeamGrumman-List Usage Guidelines> ********************
**********************************************************> > The following
details the official Usage Guidelines for the TeamGrumman-List.> You are e
ncouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.> Failure
to use the TeamGrumman-List in the manner described below may result > in
the removal of the subscribers from the List.> > > TeamGrumman-List Policy
Statement> > The purpose of the TeamGrumman-List is to provide a forum of d
iscussion for> things related to this particular discussion group. The Lis
t's goals> are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliv
er> high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie>
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals > r
equires 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 wr
ite. Ask yourself if your post will be> relevant to everyone. If you h
ave 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 nu
mber, 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 po
st requests to the List for information when that info is> easily obtain
able 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 or
iginal post to help "tune in" the> reader to the topic at hand, but be s
elective. 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 pack
age does not necessarily send your> response to the original poster. Yo
u 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 t
o go!", "I> agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are bet
ter sent> to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at la
rge.> > - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you nee
d to> comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly>
contribute something valuable.> > - Feel free to disagree with other vi
ewpoints, BUT keep your tone> polite and respectful. Don't make snide c
omments, 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.>
> - Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly > su
bscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by > List mem
bers promoting their respective products or items for sale > should be o
f a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble > a typical SPAM
message. The List isn't about commercialism, but > is about sharing inf
ormation 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.> > -------> > > [This is an automated posting.]> > do not archive
