This echo once again has a moderator/caretaker who actually
participates in Fidonet.
For those of you who might have tuned in by just linking to
everything available at your uplink, here's some basic echo
guidelines for you.

THe purpose of this conference is support for the squish mail conference 
processor written by Scut Dudley. 
Squish is a companion to Maximus BBS and is a full featured mail processing 
package. 

MEssages posted in this conference should pertain to squish and squish related 
software.  some ancillary packages such as
sqafix may have their own echoes.  THose echomail conferences may be inactive 
however, so discussion of any software
which can work with squish format message bases is permitted and encouraged.
 
Usual rules of echomail etiquette apply at all times in this echomail 
conference. NO  test  posts,  etc.  When  a  thread drifts  off  topic  for  
the  echo move it to an appropriate conference or to private mail.

NO widget wars  will  be  tolerated.  THis  means  operating systems, mail 
processor packages and bbs software. THis does not mean that a discussion  
which  addresses  strengths  and weaknesses  of  various  pieces of software is 
automatically deemed off topic however. Those with common sense  shouldn't have 
to be told when the line is crossed.

Should  there be a violation of these rules it will normally be addressed in 
netmail by the moderator(s) of this echomail conference. At most you will see a 
post to the thread from a moderator requesting that the thread be  brought  
back  into compliance  with  these  posted  rules  and guidelines. This message 
 will  be  addressed  globally  to  all.  Any  other communication   regarding  
rules  violations  or  moderation issues will be handled by netmail only. Since 
this  echomail conference is only relevant to system operators and those of 
point systems it is felt that netmail should  be  sufficient for  dealing  with 
 other moderation  issues.  Posters who violate conference rules and guidelines 
more than  once  within  the same  thread may be subject to possible 
bannishment from the conference.
I'd prefer not to have to go that route however.  Difficult
to enforce if somebody's intent on circumventing it, and
most reasonable folks shouldn't need it.

Gating this echomail conference outside Fidonet is not permitted.



Regards,
           Richard
