Subject: Rules
Hi,
something to read for you :-)
I think most of the items should be clear, they are *not* for discussion
so if you have some comments you may send them to *me* privately.
I am sorry, but I think we have no democracy concerning this rules :-))))
I hope to answer lots of the questions from the previous days with
this posting (although anything was clear before).
Greets, --- Micha ---

Rules
These rules are regularly updated. They developed out of our experiences
and so they are neither complete nor they will ever be :-)
* Every author ist responsible for the articles he posts
* Topics for the mailinglist are:
+ Technical questions& answers to the bike
+ Tips and tricks for a better operation
+ Reports about special problems and experiences
+ Information about accessories (no advertising !)
+ References to special events
* NO topics for the mailinglist are:
+ Flames in general
+ Curious stories about your latest crash
+ Discussions why the XXX is the better bike - We know the truth
...
* OFF topic are items discussed again and again (and explained in the
FAQ or depending on your personal opinion) like:
+ Which windscreen to use
+ Which tyres to use
+ Using leaded or unleaded fuel
+ Which oil to use
* There are alternative sources on the web for the following topics and
so they are not welcome here:
+ GPS
+ Varadero
* The preferred language is english. If you have problems with a
technical term, give it in your mother tongue and add an english
description of what you mean.
* Traffic has to be reduced as much as possible. Note that some of the
recipents may have limited storage capacities. So keep your postings
short and answer via private mail if the topic is of no public
interest. The original sender can post a summary of the answers he
got some days later.
* Please use a senseful subject. Otherwise people can't locate articles
using the database of old postings. Subjects like "some questions"
don't make sense !
* NO attachements at all. If you want to publish a scan or if you have
a big article, contact me via email and Ill put your data on the XRV
Homepage if possible. This is also valid for attached HTML mails or
plaform specific text documents (like M$ word files).
* If you want to unsubscribe from the list, you have to you use the
automatic unsubscription. Im not willing to manage manual
unsubscriptions via email every day !
* Before posting a question, check out the database of old postings, if
it wasnt answered before. Additionally you may find solutions for
your problem in the Database/FAQ
* If you are on vacation and your provider limits the size of your
incoming mailbox (e.g. compuserve), you have to unsubscribe,
otherwise all your mail bounces back and makes me quite unhappy.
* If your system refuses to accept messages for more than 5 days I
reserve the right to remove you from the list without any notice to
avoid abnormal consumption of ressources. In this case you can simply
resubscribe when the problem at your side is fixed.
* Don't send any testmails to the list! If you think that there is a
problem, contact us.
