Subject: The Rules


Hi all !

Just something to read for you :-)))

May be seen also on http://www.atic.org/xrv-list/rules.html

-----------------------------------------------------------

Rules

These rules are regularly updated. They developed out of our experiences
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
     +  Virus warnings - there are better sources for such kind of
        information
     +  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.
 *  Quote correctly. If you copy only the relevant parts from the
    original message, reading becomes much easier. If your mail contains
    10% or less of new information something is wrong.
 *  Please use a sensible 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 IŽll 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. IŽm not willing to manage manual
    unsubscriptions via email every day !
 *  Before posting a question, check out the database of old postings, if
    it wasnŽt 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.
