Welcome to HPFGU-Feedback!

The Ground Rules:

• Membership is open to members of the HPFGU lists.
• This is a forum for discussion of issues that are not appropriate on other HPFGU lists.
• In order to be a member of this group, we require that you read the Ground Rules and send an e-mail to HebbyElf@earthlink.net from your primary e-mail account stating that you have read, understood, and agree to abide by these rules. The message must be sent from your primary (personal) account.
• This is an unmoderated list, with the following exceptions: all new members will be placed on moderated status until confirmation is received that the Ground Rules have been read, and terms accepted; also, every new member's first post to the group may be moderated, to screen for spammers.
• The List Admin Team will monitor this list.
• Members of the List Admin Team will participate in discussions when applicable. Unless they clearly state that they have been authorized by the Team to officially interpret a policy in response to a question, their opinions are theirs only.
• The List Admin Team will read all comments and will answer those questions and act upon those suggestions which they deem of benefit to the list. They will do their best to respond in a timely fashion, but please also remember that immediate answers to questions will, in some cases, not be possible.
• This list operates in an advisory, not administrative, capacity; list policy is not made here.
• Feedback's input is valuable, but is only one of several factors considered by the List Admin Team when setting or refining policy.
• No decision made solely by members of the Feedback list should be considered binding on list administration.
• Polls may be used to gauge majority opinions on matters of discussion, and list administration will be happy to work in tandem with any list member who wishes to suggest a poll. Only list moderators may create polls, however, and as with all other discussions on this list, poll results should not be considered binding upon list administration.
• This group is for general policy discussion. Anyone wishing to contest an individual ruling by list administration (such as a rejected message or howler from a list elf) should write to HPforGrownups-owner@yahoogroups.com.
• Membership in Feedback does not constitute an administrative role in the HPFGU family of lists; participation on Feedback does not imply or guarantee later involvement in list administration.

Please Note:

• We ask your patience if we have to refine our ideas a bit in mid-stream; we have attempted to formulate ground rules to cover all contingencies, but may have to clarify or adapt as we go.
• Periodically, we will evaluate how effectively this forum provides the enhanced communication requested by list members. Opinions will be solicited from members of this list on Feedback’s effectiveness, as well.

Remember:

• All HPFGU list rules about courtesy, netiquette, and appropriate posting conventions apply here.
• This is a forum for discussing list policy matters; personal attacks will not be tolerated, and messages of this sort will be deleted, and may result in moderation.
• Complaints or criticisms of individuals — be they list members or members of list administration — should be sent to HPforGrownups-owner@yahoogroups.com, and will be dealt with offlist.
