Guidelines for "mapics-l" Mailing List -- MAPICS-L

Monthly posting of the guidelines for participation in the MAPICS
Mailing List.

Keep to the subject.  The topic of the list is MAPICS (Manufacturing,
Accounting, Production, and Inventory Control System), the ERP
software package originally developed by IBM and now sold by MAPICS,
Inc.  Any discussion related to MAPICS in particular or ERP systems
in general is acceptable.  Discussion of unrelated topics will be
actively discouraged.

When quoting messages, do not quote the entire message.  Just quote
the parts that are needed to make the appropriate references.

Flames are absolutely prohibited.  If you disagree with someone, feel
free to argue the facts, but no personal attacks will be tolerated.

The official language of the MAPICS Mailing List is English.

Do not post personal messages.  Please use direct E-Mail.  This list is
international in scope and personal messages just end up costing money.
Job and/or employment messages are forbidden.  Please use the various
jobs oriented conferences.

Digest mode IS available... send email to DIGEST-INFO@midrange.com for
information on how to switch to digest mode.

Advertising products, repeated postings, etc, are strictly prohibited.
Also, if you have a solution that will specifically help another
participant, feel free to tell that person.  And finally, if you are a
vendor, please identify yourself as such... do not try to pass yourself
off as a user of your own products (even if you are).

Collecting or "Mining" of email address from this forum, or any related
web archive, is strictly and explicitly prohibited (not to mention that
it is extraordinarily unprofessional).

Violation of the above guidelines will be determined by the moderator
and will result in the offending party either a) being forced to run
Application Recovery Procedures for MAPICS I on a System/34 with worn
out diskettes and impatient, cranky users, or b) permanent disconnection
from the conference (you decide which is worse).
