    Posting Frequency: 1st of the month.

    By posting in this echomail conference you indicate that you have read   
    and will comply with these rules and guidelines. Sysops should use   
    whatever means are available via their bbs package of choice to make   
    these rules available to users when first entering the conference.   
      
    This fidonet echomail conference is intended for discussion of topics   
    relevant to playing the guitar or the bass.   
      
    Although this is an international conference we ask that you post in   
    English only please.   
      
    All posters must use their real name. IF your real name does not   
    appear in the from field then it should appear in the signature of the   
    message.   
      
    Signatures are limited to no more than four (4) lines... Do you really   
    need to put all that in your sig to start with?? ;)   
      
    If for personal or professional reasons you would wish to post here   
    using other than your real name, please netmail the moderator at the   
    above shown fidonet address. Performers and entertainers often   
    would prefer to perform under a stage name, or would prefer to enjoy a   
    forum such as this one without being plagued by the problems that   
    might result. IF you would wish to participate in this echo using   
    other than your real name please netmail an explanation of your   
    reasoning. Reasonable requests to waive the real name requirement will   
    be granted. IF such a request is granted the privacy of the requesting   
    party will be protected by the moderator(s) of this echomail   
    conference.   
      
    Please conduct yourself in this echo as a rational thinking adult.   
      
    The moderator(s) prefer to handle moderation issues via private mail   
    wherever possible. Sysops who do not offer users netmail are asked to   
    convey any communication addressed to a user and sent by netmail to   
    that user.   
      
    Musicians are a gregarious bunch, and topics can drift from the stated   
    subject quite easily, so I've noted over the years while participating   
    in many forums for musicians and support personnel. Your moderator will   
    interpret these rules quite loosely so as to make this echo fun and   
    beneficial to participants. However, flaming and personal attacks will   
    *not* be tolerated.   
      
    Please do not gate this echo outside of fidonet without asking   
    permission of the moderator(s) and conference participants. Gating   
    requests may be granted if the gate works reliably in both directions   
    for both echomail traffic as well as private netmail communications.   
      
    As is customary with fidonet echomail conferences we discourage   
    multiple line signatures and high bit ascii except where allowed by   
    conventions such as the header of the message to convey proper names of   
    individuals, etc. So, come on in, pull up a chair and enjoy discussing   
    that musical instrument that has brought so much joy to your life.   
      
    What you don't use you may lose! Tell your fellow guitar and bass   
    guitar enthusiasts about this echomail conference. This moderator   
    considers himself the custodian of this echomail conference. One of the   
    duties of such a custodian is, of course, keeping the echo compliant   
    with requirements for backbone carriage. The echo actually belongs to   
    its participants. Therefore, if the echo moderator can no longer serve   
    as moderator/custodian, all necessary information and materials will be   
    turned over to a new moderator chosen by the echo's participants, or an   
    individual who has expressed an interest in serving as moderator. A   
    vote of echo users will always be preferred should the moderator choose   
    not to continue however.   
      
    This echomail conference was created in 1992. The fidonet guitar echo   
    has been carried on the z1 backbone for over a decade, and once was a   
    very popular echomail conference. Help us keep it on the fidonet   
    backbones by participating and telling your fellow guitar and bass   
    enthusiasts about it.   
      
    Thanks for participating in the guitar echo.
