Mostly, we try to get by WITHOUT rules.  Or, better put, get by WITH common
sense, courtesy and cooperation.

Below are the basic rules for posting on the pnews Newsgroups:

1.  No profanity.  These groups are about helping each other solve issues
related, to one degree or another, to Paradox the Application.  There should
be NO need for any type of profanity.  Failure to comply with this rule WILL
get you banned from this news server.

2.  Be courteous.  Whether someone says something you disagree with or not,
there really shouldn't be any reason not to be courteous in your reply.
With some of the discussions that take place in the -discussions group,
things can get pretty heated.  Take a moment to reflect on your answer
should you become involved in such a thread.

3.  Cooperate with others here.  There are all types of people from all over
the world, with varying backgrounds.  Sometimes a question is asked in a way
that doesn't make sense, or appears to be something it isn't.  If in doubt,
ASK the person posting if they will explain a bit before you assume their
question, or statement, is really what you think it is.

4.  International Forum.  People from all over the world participate.
Before calling someone's method of stating something into question, realize
that they may be responding in a language other than their native tongue.
Could YOU ask the same thing in THEIR language, and state it better?  Again,
a bit of courtesy will go a long way.

In general, we attempt to keep the 'moderator' hat in the closet and
participate as guests, here; the same as everyone else.  When absolutely
required, however, we will step in and attempt to *moderate* the groups.  In
the case of SPAM or profanity, we will delete messages.

Please keep the above in mind when participating.  But most of all WELCOME!
We look forward to your participation on the best News Groups in existence.

related, to one degree or another, to Paradox the Application.  There should
be NO need for any type of profanity.  Failure to comply with this rule WILL
get you banned from this news server.

2.  Attachments.  Code samples, forms, etc., are often the best way to show
the problem or answer.  Most code samples require just a snippet of the
code, and table structures can be shown with text.  When necessary, PLEASE
keep your attachments below **15k**.  We have provided an FTP server when
code/forms/tables MUST be made available to provide enough information for
the problem, or answer, to be demonstrated.
The international nature of these news groups are such that many people who
access the groups pay by the minute to access the Internet.  When there are
attachments to a news group, people accessing the posts do not get an option
of whether to retrieve an attachment - it is included automatically with the
post.  Please respect the needs/costs of others and keep the attachments
down - or utilize the FTP server.  The location and password of the FTP
server can be had for the asking in the -discussions group.

3.  Be courteous.  Whether someone says something you disagree with or not,
there really shouldn't be any reason not to be courteous in your reply.

In all cases, PLEASE zip any attachments to a message, as well as zipping
any files sent to the FTP server.  This helps keep the size down, and makes
managing multiple files MUCH easier for the recipient.
