   Dear *Not* the moderator:   
      
   Here are the rules from the person who *is* the moderator, which you are   
   currently breaking:   
      
    SD> Moderator: Sean Dennis (1:18/200 or sysop@outpostbbs.net)   
    SD>    
    SD> Despite the echotag, this echo is for the discussion and support of   
    SD> the Microsoft Windows operating system.  All versions of Windows are   
    SD> on-topic here as are any utilities and programs for Windows though   
    SD> Windows is the main topic.   
    SD>    
    SD> By your participation in this echo, you agree to the following rules:   
    SD>    
    SD> * Real names are required to be used in this echo.  No aliases.  If   
    SD>   your BBS software will not allow you to toggle between real name and   
    SD>   alias in the message header, sign your message with your full real   
    SD>   name.   
      
   First broken rule   
       
    SD> * Be friendly.  Agree to disagree.  Don't flame or argue in this echo.   
    SD>   If you must do so, please take it to netmail or somewhere else.   
      
   Second broken rule   
       
    SD> * Do not discuss anything illegal in this echo.   
    SD>    
    SD> * All messages must be in English.  You may post a message in your   
    SD>   native language as long as an English translation accompanies the   
    SD>   native post in the same message.   
    SD>    
    SD> * No blatently off-topic posts, such as BBS ads, "test" messages,   
    SD>   messages about politics or religion, et cetera.  The moderator   
    SD>   reserves the right to make the final decision if a message is on-   
    SD>   or off-topic.   
      
   Third broken rule   
         
    SD> * Please don't gate this echo to USENET, a mailing list, another BBS   
    SD>   mail network, an online Fidonet mail archive, or anything else    
    SD>   without the moderator's express and written permission.  This is a   
    SD>   Fidonet echo and needs to stay in Fidonet.   
    SD>    
    SD> * This echo does not recognize any local or regional echomail policy,   
    SD>   such as EP1, and originates from zone 1.   
    SD>      
    SD> * Any traffic concerning Fidonet matters, such as alleged "echo   
    SD>   hijackings", complaints about other echoes and their moderators, or   
    SD>   any traffic construed as such by the moderators is OFF-TOPIC. Please   
    SD>   take such discussion to netmail or another appropriate echo.   
    SD>    
    SD> * The moderator has the final say in dealing with problems in the   
    SD>   echo. If you have something to say about a moderator's action,   
    SD>   please contact him via netmail (preferred) or email.   
    SD>    
    SD> * This is a living document and will be adjusted as needed.   
    SD>    
    SD> * This document will be posted on the 1st and 15th of each month.   
    SD>    
    SD> * Please don't hesitate to contact the moderator with any questions   
    SD>   about this document.   
    SD>    
    SD> Thank you for your participation in WIN95!   
      
   It is fortunate that our moderator is so lenient. I strongly believe in the   
   'Three Strikes' method of moderation, in which case, you'd be outta   
   here...Little Willy...(o_O)   
      
   To put it simply: "If you can't say anything nice, STFU." -my mom

   SysOp, PiBBS

   ... I'd love to help you out.  Which way did you come in?
