This list is what is considered an "open" discussion
list. There are no set topics but all topics are
expected to honor our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
and the testimony he has entrusted into the care of
his people.
Posting Guidelines: No attachments are allowed. No
more than a reasonable amount of posts per 24 hour
period. (Four post a day per subscriber is suggested
but during slow periods the moderators may wink just
a little.) Lengthy posts (equalling or exceeding
3 - 8"x11.5" printed pages) require the permission of
the moderators. If permission is granted said post
should be divided up into three or more posts.
Rules of Behavior: All discussion must be conducted in
a manner where all of the participants will be
accorded the highest respect regardless of their
ability to comprehend the subject(s) under
consideration. "Talking down" or insulting a fellow
subscriber will not be tolerated. Any subscriber who
intentionally portrays themselves to be intellectually
or spiritually superior in contrast to another
subscriber will be banned from this list. Pride and
arrogance will find no lasting home on this list.
The Bottom Line: The moderators retain the right to
govern this list as they see fit to maintain an
orderly and well behaved service.
Topics that do not reflect the purpose of this list
suffer the risk of being discouraged or banned.
