ELULS Listserv Rules (revised as of March 22, 1999)

     The list is intended to be a forum for open discussion on issues important to Section members and we will encourage each user to post messages to the list, ELULSLIST1@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM or LIST1@ELULS.ORG that you would like all members to receive.   If you have any questions or comments about this service please direct them to help@eluls.org and not the entire list.  

1. The Environmental and Land Use Law Section is a non-commercial entity.   Advertising and "spam" (unwanted bulk messages) are not permitted, and grounds for immediate removal from any and all ELULS Lists.  Attempting to compromise ELULS security (including assembling lists of members -- of ELULS or specific lists and/or groups within ELULS) is grounds for immediate removal and possible legal action. If you would like to post an
informative message about a commercial product, you may ask the list owner for permission, but such messages are expected to be rare on all our lists.

2. Please do not post irrelevant messages to our forums.

3. If a list owner makes a content request (i.e., let this topic die), please follow it. List owners decide what is or is not appropriate content for their lists. If you disagree with the request or decision of a list owner, please inform the owner(s) in private E*Mail help@eluls.org -- we do care about how people like our services, but such decisions are not open for public debate.

4. ELULS does not operate lists as a forum for public 'flaming' -- please do not reply to inappropriate postings (that is the responsibility of the list owner, and will generally occur in private E*Mail).

5. In the name of brevity, please do not publicly raise the same issue more than twice -- we all have better things to do than re-hash the same questions and answers indefinitely. You may want to suggest to the list owner(s) that they re-open unresolved questions, but this is their decision. Some topics need a rest because discussion of them is stuck -- even if they aren't yet resolved.

6. Please be considerate and polite: L-Soft (LINK TO L-SOFT GUIDELINES -
http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/user/user.html#2.15) has some guidelines on this, which are worth reading.

All that being said, we hope never to enforce any of this. If everyone is considerate of everyone else, the life of the ELULS list-owner can be very easy. On the other hand, we will enforce any rules necessary in order to allow members to use our services without inconvenience and distraction.

If you feel an issue is important enough to merit a third (or more) round of discussion, please contact the list owner directly and ask for permission to re-raise it (if granted, make sure you include your
reasoning in the public posting). If you are dissatisfied with the list
owner, you may complain to the List Oversight Committee help@eluls.org

As necessary, the ELULS list owner will remind posters if their posts are inappropriate; if members choose or are unable to comply, they will be removed.

REMINDER:  Replies sent to any message that was distributed by this list-serv ELULSLIST1@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM will be sent to the entire mailing list. 

If your wish to remove yourself from this list, send an e-mail to listserv@peach.ease.lsoft.com with the word SIGNOFF in the body of the e-mail message.

ELULS Internet Committee
Joe Richards, chair
