> I would like to suggest a few ground rules:
> A) For people who are on the help list:
> 1) You are under no obligation to help, this is strictly a volunteer
basis.
> 2) If at any time you wish your name to be removed from the list, it will
be
> done within 48 hours, no questions asked.
> B) For people using the help list:
> 1) Never take unfair advantage of the people on the list.
> 2) You do not need to be on the list to use it.
> 3) Never use the list for any commercial reason whatsoever.
> C) For people maintaining the list:
> 1) At least 3 people capable of modifying the content within 24 hours
> (passwords etc.)
> 2) Must handle all complaints of abuse within 24 hours.
> 3) All 3 people must publish their e-mail addresses on the web page, along
> with these rules.
> I strongly believe in the KISS (keep it simple, stupid!) principle, so
let's
> not overly complicate these rules. There have already been several good

about
> a catchy name for the list? Something that will not inflate my head!
> Thank you all...
