ADMIN: Reminder About Posting Rules

[ssk7882]

Hi, everyone.

Just a reminder that as the day of CoS' widespread release 
approaches, we are expecting a huge influx of new members, not to 
mention the return of quite a few older ones who will want to discuss 
the new material.  There will certainly be increased traffic on this 
list in only a few days now.

We therefore really must insist that everyone follow the rules of
HPforGrownups.  Our list regulations can be found in our HBF 
(Humongous BigFile) at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/Admin%
20Files/hbfile.html

In particular, please keep in mind the following points:


ONE-LINERS (Section 2.6)

Please do not post one-liner messages.  If you only have a very short 
point to make, then it is best to wait until you have a number of 
such responses and then combine them into a longer post.


SNIPPING & ATTRIBUTING (Section 2.4)

Be sure to snip off unnecessary quoted material when replying to 
someone. Be sure to properly attribute quotes to the correct person.


PUNCTUATION, CAPITALIZATION, SPELLING AND GRAMMAR (Section 2.9)

This is a list for adult-level discussion.  Many of our members may
not have English as their first language.  This makes it imperative
that all of our members use correct English.  This includes using
capital letters at the beginning of sentences, periods at the end,
and commas in the middle to show phrasing.  Before hitting the
'send' button, please take the time to look over your post and
correct any typos, spelling errors, or faulty grammar.  An
automated spell checker may be of some assistance with this.


We recognize that some people may have disabilities which make 
either formatting or posting difficult.  We do have a volunteer
disability team to help out with such problems.  If you think
that you could benefit from their assistance, please contact
the Disability Divas via the Mods at mods at hpfgu.org.uk.

If you have any questions about the group rules or policies (or 
whether a particular message or topic is appropriate), please 
don't hesitate to contact the moderators off-list.

Thanks,

Elkins
