    MUFFIN - The Maximus Support Echo   
    Moderator - mark lewis, 1:3634/12   
      
     1. This echo is for Maximus BBS software support and discussion.   
        Messages posted here should pertain to Maximus and related   
        utilities. MEX/MECCA script discussions are also welcome.   
        Discussions that lean more toward Squish should be continued in   
        the TUB echo.   
      
     2. English is the official language allowed in this echo. However,   
        a message in your native tongue is allowed as long as there is   
        an English translation in the same message. If you must, at least   
        use google translate to provide the English translation.   
      
     3. Please use your real name when posting here. If you aren't sure,   
        check your birth certificate.   
      
     4. This echo is restricted to sysops (or soon to be sysops) only.   
      
     5. When someone posts a message requesting help, please try to be as   
        helpful and accurate as possible.   
      
     6. No BBS ads, 'test' messages, "where are you from" chains, replies   
        to off-topic messages, encrypted messages, PGP sigs, multiline   
        sigs or taglines, playing moderator (unless you -are- the   
        moderator), hi-ascii/ascii "artwork" (we really -don't- care to   
        see it), uuencoded files, or huge amounts of over-quoting.   
      
        "high-bit" ASCII characters are permitted ONLY in the context of   
        demonstrating something directly related to Maximus or a related   
        util. Other uses are not allowed. ANSI is -never- allowed.   
      
        If a program (reader, tagline mgr, etc.) is adding a lot of extra   
        junk to messages, please don't use it here. The moderator will   
        decide what's "extra junk", and let you know.   
        
        "Internet-style" signatures are -greatly- unwelcome, as well as   
        listing every email account or FTN-type address you have. Leave it   
        out, please. One -short- line is an "acceptable" signature.   
      
        "OS Bashing" is not welcome here. Don't do it. Period. This also   
        means, leave your cutesy "OS put-down" tag/origin lines out of   
        this echo. Grow up, ok?   
      
        Please, do not use a "shotgun" approach to posting, cc'ing a   
        message to all Maximus-related echoes. Pick the one echo that   
        applies to your topic, and post the message only in that one.   
      
     7. Please, limit quoting in your replies. If you're quoting more than   
        a couple lines, you're probably quoting too much. Never quote tag/   
        tear/origin lines unless they pertain to the support being given.   
      
     8. Rules of Common Courtesy apply at -all- times. If you want to argue   
        with, or complain to someone, do it elsewhere. Play nice!   
      
     9. File announcements are allowed by authors of utilities directly   
        related to the topic of this echo. You are also encouraged to help   
        others find programs they may need. When doing so, please include   
        filenames, and what restrictions (if any) you have on file requests.   
        In the case of files via HTTP or FTP, *try* to include the URL (and   
        directory if needed) of the file as well.   
      
    10. This echo may not be gated (in or out) to any other network, without   
        prior permission of the moderator. Authorized gates will be published   
        in the ELIST*.* listing for this echo.   
      
    Changes will be made to this list as needed. Your input is welcome via   
    netmail. Arguing about moderator decisions/rules is not welcome in the   
    echo... Again, please use netmail.   
      
    Thanks for using the MUFFIN echo!
