   MEMORIES  RULES   
   Revised 1 August 2017   
      
        FidoNet is a "Virtual Community" where we are all   
   representative of the population. Each ECHO is like a   
   neighborhood of the virtual community. The MEMORIES echo is _our_   
   neighborhood. Let's keep it a nice place to hang out.   
      
        This is the Memories Echo. It is a nonregion specific   
   conference dedicated to all persons interested in nostalgia and   
   trivia, with some related chatter on subjects of interest to   
   seniors. It's a bit like the pot bellied stove in the old general   
   store. Conversations usually start with reminiscing of something   
   from the past, but seem to lead in many directions, which the   
   Moderator generally tolerates so long as it's civilized   
   conversation and doesn't violate any of the specific rules below.   
   It's a group of fun to be around folks. Come on in.   
      
        The Moderator may appoint a successor, or call an election   
   any time by posting an announcement in the echo. Such   
   announcement shall define the rules of, time frame for, and the   
   names of those responsible for monitoring and publishing the   
   results of the election. In the event of the death or incapacity   
   of the Moderator, the CoModerator shall have all the rights   
   ascribed to the Moderator.   
      
        This is a FidoNet Backbone Echo, and, as such, adheres to   
   FidoNet regulations for echoes.

        This echo is dedicated to the loving MEMORIES of:   
      
   Ronni Toth, its founder, and Kent Anderson, her successor   
   moderator, and to Bill White who left us for personal reasons.   
      
   May we keep the high standards they set for us.   
        _     _     _     _     _     _     _     _     _   
      
        This echo is open to everyone who complies with the   
   following rules:   
      
   1. Topics may be broad, but not stray too far from the purpose of   
   the echo and that is to share germane conversation with those   
   having a common interest in things past. Excessive chatter, if   
   not related to times past, will be considered off topic.   
      
   2. DON'T get personal! Personal attacks (flames) and profanity   
   are unnecessary and unwelcome in this echo. And keep it clean:   
   This is a family echo. Risque remarks and offcolor taglines will   
   cause a Moderator response.   
      
   3. Present day religion and politics, NO!   
      
   4. Only the Moderator will address offtopic traffic. If a fellow   
   participant tries to moderate you, just ignore them. If someone   
   insults you, do not respond in kind: nothing hurts more than   
   being ignored. If necessary, send email to a moderator.   
      
   5. NO private messages.   
      
   6. Handles or aliases allowed in part of your BBSing with the   
   addition of your real name at the end of the message.   
      
   7. No test messages, nor advertisements of any kind (including   
   BBS ads) allowed.   
      
   8. This conference may not be ported to any other network's mail   
   system without the express written permission of the Moderator.   
   Porting or gating the echo into the Internet or to any Usenet   
   newsgroup is expressly forbidden. Note: The carrying of the   
   echoes by an Internet site is all right, provided that any   
      
   messages originating from that site, if not within this   
   conference's rules, are subject to corrective action by the   
   Moderator.   
      
   9. Overquoting: Remember to delete those parts of the message   
   that don't relate to your reply. Leave just enough so that others   
   can pick up on what's going on, or refresh their memories if they   
   read the original post. NEVER, EVER requote signature, origin   
   lines, addresses, nor taglines unless they are pertinent to what   
   you're saying.   
      
   10. Underquoting: It is most distressing to see part of a message   
   and a response, and have no idea as to what either of the   
   messages relates. Do your quoting intelligently, and leave enough   
   info to be certain that even a disinterested party will know   
   what's going on. This faux pas is often related to, and could be   
   mitigated by following:   
      
   11. Subject not related to the topic of the message. All too   
   often a message that started on a particular subject takes   
   another tack. Unless the poster replying changes the subject, the   
   message bears no relation to its indicated topic. Please try to   
   remember when replying to see that the subject matter and the   
   subject are in agreement.   
      
   12. These guides are subject to change at any time. If you find a   
   way to be annoying, we will make a rule to cover it.   
      
   13. These rules condense into four words:  "Be Nice  Have Fun"
