   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.   
      
   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.   
   This moderator prefers 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 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 and conference   
   participants. Gating requests may be granted if the gate   
   works in both directions reliably.   
      
   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.
