Guidelines for the Mailing List

(aka the Do's and Don't's of a mailing list)

This list is for the discussion of Eau Claire Co. Genealogy and History only.   This includes historical sketches, census data, genealogies, vital records, immigration, family Bibles, settlements, web sites, etc. as they relate to Eau Claire Co.  Please keep your discussions within these guidelines.

The "DO's":
  • Give public announcements of information that is of Eau Claire County genealogical  and historical interest. Please use discretion!  (ie. National meetings, seminars, tours, etc. are better announced on a state level mail list.)  If you are unsure, please ask the list administrator if it is appropriate before sending it to the list.
  • Try to keep "quoting" to a minimum.  Quoting is repeating text of a message you are replying to.  Some quoting is necessary to remind others what the thread is about, but please do not quote large postings (Digest listers, please refrain from sending a copy of the whole digest when you reply!)
  • You may add a list of surnames, but please try to limit them to 6 names or so.  If you have more, feel free to rotate them with each succeeding message.
  • This mail list receives gatewayed messages from the Eau Claire Co. Message Board.  To respond to these gatewayed messages, you MUST go to the Message Board and respond directly there.  DO NOT use the reply function of your email program to attempt to respond to these gatewayed messages!
The "DON'Ts" :
  • Do not send virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, items for sale, etc.  For information on virus hoaxes see http://www.kumite.com/myths/  among others.
  • Please do not send file attachments.  If you have a file you would like to share with others, announce what you have, then send the file to only those who request it, via your private email.
  • No rude comments, swearing, or flaming is allowed on this list!
  • Do not impose any other rules or conditions upon this list.  Do not try to regulate this list. If you don't like the way someone formats their queries or responses, take it up with the listowner, NOT on the list!
  • No selling of items or services is allowed on this mail list!
  • Do not respond to gatewayed messages from the Eau Claire County Message Board on list (see Item # 4 in the "Do's" list above).

               Failure to comply with these guidelines will result in expulsion from the list.

               Remember:  This list is for Eau Claire County Genealogy and History ONLY!
