(aka the Do's and
Don't's of a mailing list)
This
list is for the discussion of Trempealeau Co. Genealogy and History
only. This includes historical sketches, census
data, genealogies, vital records, immigration, family Bibles,
settlements, web sites, etc. as they relate to
Trempealeau Co. Please keep your discussions within these
guidelines.
The "DO's":
- Give public
announcements of information that is of Trempealeau County
genealogical and historical interest.
Please use discretion! (ie. National meetings, seminars, tours,
etc. are better announced on
a state level mail list.) If you are unsure, please ask the list
administrator if it is appropriate before
sending it to the list.
- Try to keep "quoting"
to a minimum. Quoting is repeating text of a message you are replying to.
Some quoting is necessary to remind others what the thread is about,
but please do not quote large
postings (Digest listers, please refrain from sending a copy of the
whole digest when you
reply!)
- You may add a list of
surnames, but please try to limit them to 6 names or so. If you
have more, feel free to
rotate them with each succeeding message.
- This mail list
receives gatewayed messages from the Trempealeau Co. Message
Board. To respond to these gatewayed messages, you MUST go to the
Message Board and respond directly there. DO NOT use the reply
function of your email program to attempt to respond to these gatewayed
messages!
The "DON'Ts" :
- Do not send virus
warnings, test messages, chain letters, items for sale, etc. For information on virus
hoaxes see http://www.kumite.com/myths/ among others.
- Please do not send
file attachments. If you have a file you would like to share with
others, announce what you
have, then send the file to only those who request it, via your private
email.
- No rude comments,
swearing, or flaming is allowed on this list!
- Do not impose any
other rules or conditions upon this list. Do not try to regulate
this list. If you don't like
the way someone formats their queries or responses, take it up with the
listowner, NOT on the
list!
- No selling of items
or services is allowed on this mail list!
- Do not respond to
gatewayed messages from the Trempealeau County Message Board on list
(see Item # 4 in the "Do's" list above).
Failure to
comply with these guidelines will result in expulsion from the list.
Remember: This list is for Trempealeau County Genealogy and
History ONLY!
