Dear LM_NET Colleagues,

In light of the recent discussion on censorship, I am posting a couple of
sections of our LM_NET Etiquette which may serve to guide us when the
discussion may seem to get a bit hot:

18. Flames: a "flame" is an emotionally charged posting, and is often
   directed at an individual who has posted to the group. Be sure you
   really want to post it, and remember that LM_NET does not tolerate
   flames. We will immediately drop members posting rude, inflammatory or
   grossly inappropriate messages.

   Note: This guideline includes private e-mail sent in response to
         to something that an LM_NET member has posted. It doesn't
         matter if you send the rude message to someone in private. If
         you reply to an LM_NET posting, please remember to be polite
         and civil.

19. To signal humorous intent, use some sort of "smiley", such as :-).
   Facetiousness and sarcasm can be misunderstood easily in electronic
   communication. (See Arlene Rinaldi's excellent Netiquette Guidelines:
   <http://www.fau.edu/netiquette/net/>

20. Please be considerate of others. Through inexperience or limited local
   software, list members may inadvertently violate these guidelines. A
   private message to the offender from an experienced friend or from the
   list owners is more appropriate than a public flame. Our LM_NET
   Hospitality Committee may have already contacted the person regarding
   the inappropriate posting.
