TUB - The Squish Support Echo 
Moderator - Gary Gilmore, 1:2410/400
Asst. Moderator:  Kevin Bentz, 1:2410/213
Last updated: 07/19/2001

 1 - This echo is for SQUISH support.  Messages posted here should
     pertain to Squish and related utilities.  Discussions that start
     to lean more toward Maximus should be continued in the MUFFIN, the
     Maximus Support echo.

     English is the "official" language of this echo.

 2 - When someone posts a message requesting help, please try to be as
     helpful and accurate as possible.

 3 - This echo is restricted to sysops (or soon to be sysops) only.
     It may not be made generally available to your users.

 4 - Please use your real name when posting here.

 5 - Avoid creating unneeded traffic.  Here's a list of basic "No-no's":

  No: BBS ads, 'test' messages, "where are you from" chains, multiple
      tearlines, replies to off-topic messages, encrypted messages, PGP
      sigs, multiline sigs or taglines, playing moderator (unless you -are-
      the moderator), additional headers/footers in messages, hi-ascii/ascii
      "artwork" (we really -don't- care to see it), uuencoded files, or
      huge amounts of over-quoting.

      ("high-bit" ASCII characters are permitted ONLY in the context of
      demonstrating something directly related to Squish or a related
      util.  Other uses are not allowed.  ANSI is -never- allowed.)

      If a program (reader, tagline mgr, etc.) is adding a lot of extra
      junk to messages, please DON'T use it here.  (The moderator will
      decide what's "extra junk", and let you know.)
  
      Large signatures are -greatly- unwelcome, as well as listing every
      email account or FTN-type address you have.  Leave it out, please.
      One -short- line is an "acceptable" signature.

 6 - Please, limit quoting in your replies.  (If you're quoting more than
     a couple lines, you're probably quoting too much.)  Never quote tag/
     tear/origin lines.

 7 - "OS Bashing" is stupid, and not welcome here.  Don't do it.  Period.

 8 - Rules of Common Courtesy apply at -all- times.  If you want to argue
     with, or complain to someone, do it elsewhere.  Please play nice!

 9 - File announcements are allowed by authors of utilities directly
     related to the topic of this echo.  You are also encouraged to help
     others find programs they may need.  When doing so, please include
     filenames, and what restrictions (if any) you have on file requests.
     In the case of files via HTTP or FTP, *try* to include the URL (and
     directory if needed) of the file as well.

10 - This echo may not be gated (in or out) to any other FTN-style network,
     or the internet, without prior permission of the moderator. Authorized
     gates will be published in the ELIST*.* listing for this echo.

Input about moderation or these guidelines are welcome via netmail.
(Arguing about them not welcome in the echo... again, please use netmail.)

Thanks for using the TUB echo!
