Below are two long-standing but unwritten rules of vortex-L:
1. DO NOT FEED A TROLL. If someone is insulting, then you are required
to put their address in local killfile. If you don't know what trolls
are, and aren't familiar with this issue, do not subscribe to vortex-L
2. REAL IDENTITIES ONLY. This is a semi-pro forum, and we all use
our real names here. Users will provide linking info in their posted
messages, such as a "sig" with personal website, Facebook page,
mailing addr, etc. Just make sure anyone can verify your real-world
identity.
I won't be enforcing the second one until I set up an archive system which
is private, members-only. I'm looking at groupware services which
duplicate the "groups" function at yahoo and google (both of which have
major issues which we've discussed, and I've very intentionally avoided
migrating to either one.) But today there are at least three other
options.
