Guidelines for RPG400-L mailing list

Monthly posting of the guidelines for participation in the RPG/400
Language Mailing List.

Keep to the subject.  The topic of the list is RPG/400 Programming.  This
includes, but is not limited to, all aspects of RPG programming (ILE and 
OPM), activation groups, indicators (fie!), extensions, enhancements, 
debugging, etc.

When quoting messages, do not quote the entire message.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 RPG/400 Programming 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.

Please do not use HTML to format messages ... not everyone has a HTML
enabled message reader and the extra text can (and does) cause some
mail readers to truncate messages.

While the participants of this list are happy to answer questions and
help solve problems, it is greatly appreciated if you do some of your
own research beforehand.  Before posting a question for the first time,
please take a moment to review Eric Raymonds excellent FAQ "How to Ask
Questions the Smart Way" (http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html).

Advertising products or services (including press releases) are strictly
prohibited.  Also, if you have a solution that will specificly 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).

Employment related discussions are off-topic in this technical discussion
forum.  Please restrict abstract employment discussion to MIDRANGE-L and
specific employment discussion to MIDRANGE-JOBS.

major modifications to a 10 year old, matching records, RPG II program
that uses every available indicator or b) permanent disconnection from
the conference (you decide which is worse).
