What is an inappropriate posting?
• Making personal attacks on other list members anywhere online, including the list, a website, or any other online forum. Personal attacks, name-calling, “flames”, anger, sarcasm, “trashing” of or unfounded accusations about individuals or organizations, etc., are destructive to the list and the community it seeks to create, and are never permitted. Critiques of others’ character or unstated motivations are also prohibited. Judgment as to what constitutes an attack, a flame, etc. rests with the list owner. • Reposting to the list an e-mail you received privately, whether signed or unsigned, without the author’s permission.

Note that forwarding a list message via private e-mail without the author’s permission is permitted u
