    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.
