Here are some etiquette reminders that will help us all to make the group
an ever-friendlier place:

 -- Please, before posting, ensure that you've read the basic Usenet
    etiquette guide in news.announce.newusers.

 -- Please consider the news.software.b readership before you post.  Consider
    news.admin.misc for general questions about site administration, and
    news.software.readers for questions about news-*reading* programs.
   
 -- When following up, please change the Subject: line if the subject has
    really changed.

 -- Some newsgroups have adopted the practice of using prefixes on Subject:
    lines to help readers select articles of interest, e.g.

        Subject: C News: How do I rebuild the history file?
        Subject: INN: How do I do outbound batching for UUCP?

    [In this author's opinion, this is a practice that should be encouraged.]

 -- Remember that USENET is a volunteer network.  All the code, maintenance,
    and question-answering are maintained by folks who freely give their time
    to help the net.  Please consider this and treat them accordingly.  Be
    as precise as possible so that overworked knowledgeable people will not
    waste time trying to solve the wrong problem.
