There is only one basic rule to using this mailing list. You must treat other members of this list with respect. This list's success is dependent upon the willingness of its members to share information. If people aren't treated with respect they are not likely to share their knowledge and experience. I also realize that people will not always agree on everything. People are free to disagree, but this must be done is a respectful manner. Flaming and name calling will not be tolerated. If anyone flames, swears at, or treats any other member disrespectfully, I will remove them from the list. No profanity is to be used on the list. Its rude vulgar and unneccessary but more important - I want the list and its archive to be available at public libraries, schools etc. Many publicly funded instituions are required to censor any web site that contains profanity. Insuring that profanity is not used on this list will contribute to the list and its archive being widely available. Attachments should not be sent through the list. The rules are 1) treat each other with respect. 2) don't send unsubscribe messages to the list. 3) don't send attachments to the list. And now for the weekly joke ... ---- Shortly after Bill Gates was killed in a freak accident, he found himself being sized up by Saint Peter. "Bill, this is a tough call. You've made great technological advancements with Microsoft, but you've also given us Windows 95. I think I'm going to let you choose between Heaven and Hell." "That sounds fair," Gates replied. "May I have a look at hell first?" And so first Saint Peter took him to Hell. "This is hell? Wow, look at all those gorgeous women, the ones that laughed when I asked them out on dates in high school. And look at those mansions!" exclaimed Bill. "And see all those coders? They work 24 hours a day for free just because they really love you, Bill, and live only to please you." "Shazam, this is all virtual, isn't it, Saint Peter?" "Yep. With no bugs, Bill." "If this is hell, what can heaven be like?" (Saint Peter makes sweeping gesture) "Like this!" "People wearing robes and playing harps while they sit on clouds? What a boring cliche. I'll take Hell!" replies, Gates. And so two weeks later, St Peter paid a little visit. "Hey what the hell's going on? It's nearly 200 degrees and the air is terrible. There's no food or drink. Goblins jab me in the ribs constantly. I'm crawling with vermin and weak with disease. They play the Beastie Boys at all hours, for all eternity. There are NO COMPUTERS! Where are the women, the program slaves, the virtual wonders? Where is the splendid hell you promised me?" cries Gates. "Oh that, that was just a demo..." ---- If you have a joke you would like to be used in this situation - please email it to me privately please.
