Dear *Not* the moderator:

Here are the rules from the person who *is* the moderator, which you are currently breaking:

 SD> Moderator: Sean Dennis (1:18/200 or sysop@outpostbbs.net)
 SD> 
 SD> Despite the echotag, this echo is for the discussion and support of
 SD> the Microsoft Windows operating system.  All versions of Windows are
 SD> on-topic here as are any utilities and programs for Windows though
 SD> Windows is the main topic.
 SD> 
 SD> By your participation in this echo, you agree to the following rules:
 SD> 
 SD> * Real names are required to be used in this echo.  No aliases.  If
 SD>   your BBS software will not allow you to toggle between real name and
 SD>   alias in the message header, sign your message with your full real
 SD>   name.

First broken rule
 
 SD> * Be friendly.  Agree to disagree.  Don't flame or argue in this echo.
 SD>   If you must do so, please take it to netmail or somewhere else.

Second broken rule
 
 SD> * Do not discuss anything illegal in this echo.
 SD> 
 SD> * All messages must be in English.  You may post a message in your
 SD>   native language as long as an English translation accompanies the
 SD>   native post in the same message.
 SD> 
 SD> * No blatently off-topic posts, such as BBS ads, "test" messages,
 SD>   messages about politics or religion, et cetera.  The moderator
 SD>   reserves the right to make the final decision if a message is on-
 SD>   or off-topic.

Third broken rule
   
 SD> * Please don't gate this echo to USENET, a mailing list, another BBS
 SD>   mail network, an online Fidonet mail archive, or anything else 
 SD>   without the moderator's express and written permission.  This is a
 SD>   Fidonet echo and needs to stay in Fidonet.
 SD> 
 SD> * This echo does not recognize any local or regional echomail policy,
 SD>   such as EP1, and originates from zone 1.
 SD>   
 SD> * Any traffic concerning Fidonet matters, such as alleged "echo
 SD>   hijackings", complaints about other echoes and their moderators, or
 SD>   any traffic construed as such by the moderators is OFF-TOPIC. Please
 SD>   take such discussion to netmail or another appropriate echo.
 SD> 
 SD> * The moderator has the final say in dealing with problems in the
 SD>   echo. If you have something to say about a moderator's action,
 SD>   please contact him via netmail (preferred) or email.
 SD> 
 SD> * This is a living document and will be adjusted as needed.
 SD> 
 SD> * This document will be posted on the 1st and 15th of each month.
 SD> 
 SD> * Please don't hesitate to contact the moderator with any questions
 SD>   about this document.
 SD> 
 SD> Thank you for your participation in WIN95!

It is fortunate that our moderator is so lenient. I strongly believe in the 'Three Strikes' method of moderation, in which case, you'd be outta here...Little Willy...(o_O)
