   This   is   a  forum  for  the  discussion  of  professional   
   baseball. All teams, including  their  farm  clubs,  players,   
   stats,  you name it. IF it touches the world of professional   
   baseball in NOrth America it's  a  welcome  topic  for  this   
   echomail conference.   
      
   Usual  rules of echomail etiquette apply in this conference.   
   This includes keeping to the topic,  reasonable  signatures,   
   and the requisite use of your real name.   
      
   This  echomail  conference  is  intended  to  be  a friendly   
   welcoming  place  for  those  who  have   an   interest   in   
   professional  baseball.  When  the  topic  drifts take it to   
   another  conference,  or  to  netmail.  Like  politics   and   
   religion  people  can  have strong opinions when it comes to   
   the game of baseball.  Just remember, keep it friendly.   
      
   The usenet newsgroups devoted to professional sports  appear   
   to  this  moderator to be a cyber wasteland of spam and junk   
   with no relevant content, or very little. THerefore,  Gating   
   this   echomail   conference   outside  of  FIdonet  without   
   moderator  approval  is  forbidden.  Posting   of   material   
   originating  elsewhere  which  is  pertinent  to the echo is   
   strongly encouraged however.   
      
   Any gateway to and from this echomail conference must function   
   in both directions.  Users of the conference should be able   
   to send posts through it as well as read them.  In addition,   
   the operator of any such gate is responsible for all traffic   
   entering the conference from it.  Should material inappropriate   
   for posting in this echo originates from that gate the   
   moderator will  request that the gate cease automatically   
   posting in the echo.  If you would wish to provide a gateway   
   to a usenet group or mailing list it is suggested that you   
   monitor the source for a time to assure yourself that posts   
   inappropriate to the ml_baseball echo will not be automatically   
   gated to the conference.  This moderator has a zero tolerance   
   policy for spam.   
      
   Moderation issues will be  handled  outside  the  conference   
   whenever  possible.  If  you offer echomail to users you are   
   asked to provide them access to any communications sent from   
   the  moderator  of  this  conference  to  them  via  fidonet   
   netmail. Also, you are asked  to  please  make  these  rules   
   available  to  them  when  they first access the conference.   
   This should not be difficult as  they  are  posted  monthly.   
   Remember  that  you  as the nodelisted sysop are responsible   
   for all traffic originated by your users.   
      
   Come on in, have fun, and thanks for using the ml_baseball conference.
