Inflammatory speech rarely convinces anyone, and will usually just
cause them to shut you out.

*****************************************
List Guidelines for the "nukkad" list.
*****************************************

 - Please do not send any offensive jokes or any insulting "sardarji" jokes
 to the list. 


 - If a list member sends you a private, off-list email, do NOT post
 it to the list without their permission. Keep private conversations
 private.


 - Please do not include attachments to messages sent to "nukkad". This 
 includes images and executable programs.  They clog up bandwidth, fill 
 up inboxes and cause all around misery. Executable attachments can contain 
 viruses that can cause untold problems to others on the list. 

 If you have something you want to make available, put it on an online 
 server site and send a pointer to the list. You can also state you have 
 it, and have people request it by private e-mail. 
 

 - No chain letters, virus warnings, good luck charms and any thing
 remotely similar. Definitive information on most hoaxes is available
 at:

          http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html


 - Do not include "nukkad" in a larger e-mail group alias of your friends
 and acquaintances. This will avoid mistakes where a message suitable 
 for your friends but unsuitable for a public list gets inadvertantly 
 posted here.
 
 - Please, please, please, remove the stuff in a note that you are
 responding to which is not necessary.  
 
 Please remove everything from the quoted note except for the
 portion that you are actually responding to.  This will save
 people's time, "nukkad"'s bandwidth, and prevent you from getting
 those irritating little notes from me telling you to edit
 responses.
 


 - Do not post anything remotely offensive on this list.
 Your boss might be reading it.


Remember that you own your words and that they own you. Communicating
on this list is akin to standing up in front of a large audience and 
making a speech. In fact, it is worse since you can't see them and have no
idea of their reactions. Think about this when you send your next message
to "nukkad".
