--> KR-List message posted by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Matt Dralle) ********************************* *** KR-List Usage Guidelines *** *********************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the KR-List. You are encouraged to read it carefully and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the KR-List in the manner discribed below may result in removal from the List. ----------- KR-LIST POLICY STATEMENT: The purpose of the KR-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to the upkeep and flying the KR series of aircraft. This KR-List is intended for use by KR pilots and enthusiasts. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster comaraderie among pilots; and to support the safe operation thereof. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the KR-List. To these ends, the following guidelines have been established for use of the List: - Please keep all posts related to KRs at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at a ferocious rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting entire original posts has the size of the archive can not be overstated! DO NOT DO THIS! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something relevant to add, that will be of broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
