   This is a Technical Support echo for Buffalo Creek's    
   Spitfire BBS Software and related utilities.    
   Spitfire Utility Program announcements are welcome    
   and encouraged.  Spitfire Utility authors wanting to    
   use this echo for support or beta testing such program(s)    
   are encouraged to do so.  Please note that software written    
   specifically for Spitfire is preferred.  Other utilities    
   that are not specific for Spitfire BBS's shall require    
   prior approval by the Moderator(s).  If message traffic    
   becomes a problem to the participants of this echo the    
   Moderator(s) may restrict access.    
   Discussions which relate to the Business Practices of    
   Buffalo Creek Software other than general statements    
   which can be supported by written documentation originating    
   from Buffalo Creek Software are Off-Topic.  General chit    
   chat is permitted, however, deep discussion of topics    
   suitable for other Echos are not permitted.    
      
   Q. Who is elegible to post here?    
   A1. Any current, or former Spitfire sysop.    
                  OR....    
   A2. Anyone who is currently developing, or upgrading a    
      Spitfire utility.    
   01.  Play nice. (This covers a lot of ground, but you    
       know what it means). If you don't play nice,    
       we'll have to separate you.    
   02.  This Echo is available to all persons interested    
       in Spitfire BBS Software.  Please set your security    
       level high enough so that the casual user does not    
       fall into the echo by mistake.  All FidoNet rules    
       and regulations apply.    
   03.  Real Names will be used in the Echo.  If your BBS    
       software utilizes "handles" and you can't change it,    
       then you must sign your real name at the bottom of    
       your messages.    
   04.  Stay on topic.  Keep at least one foot on the subject    
       of SPITFIRE BBS software.  If a topic is declared    
       off-topic by the moderators, for heaven's sake,    
       please comply.  We don't like hassles any more    
       than you do.    
   05.  Foul language, flaming, or insults will NOT be    
       tolerated.    
   06.  Don't be easily annoyed.  Be helpful and Considerate.    
       We were all new at this at one time and had to follow    
       the learning curve.    
   07.  ANSI Graphics are *NOT* permitted in any message.  Keep    
       signatures down to three lines or less.    
   08.  Keep your quoting to the minimum necessary to establish    
       the context of your reply.  Certainly, don't quote more    
       than you originate.    
   09.  TRY NOT TO TYPE WITH THE CAPS KEY DOWN.  This is known as    
       shouting, and is bad typing practice.  It is also hard    
       to read.    
   10.  No Encrypted mail flow is allowed...PERIOD!    
   11.  No programs are to be transmitted as a message.    
       Small portions of source code for clarification    
       purposes will be allowed.    
   12.  Gating the FidoNet Spitfire Echo shall be directed    
       by the Moderator with the assistance of Co-Moderator(s).    
       All Networks Gating into this echo must abide by this    
       Echo's Rules and Current FidoNet Policy.    
   13.  Please leave ALL moderating to the Moderators.  All    
       policy decisions will be made by the Moderator of    
       this Echo.  If you disagree, or have a complaint,    
       send me a netmail message anytime at the address above.    
       The position of a Co-Moderator will be handled by    
       appointment by the Moderator.    
   14.  DO NOT respond to any Moderation messages in the echo.    
       If you do not agree with this policy then DO NOT use    
       the echo!  eMail the Moderator if you wish to respond    
       to a Moderation Message.    
       Moderation Messages will be clearly defined as those    
       in which the Moderator use their title directly beneath    
       their name at the end of a message.    
   15.  Messages determined to be excessively annoying by the    
       Moderator will not be tolerated and will result in a    
       SINGLE (1) NetMail Message warning from the Moderator    
       prior to official action being taken as outlined in    
       the current FidoNet policies.    
   16.  That's it, except that if someone comes up with a new    
       and improved way to aggravate all and sundry we reserve    
       the right to make a rule to fit the occasion.
