>>
>>
>>
>> Replying To Messages:
>>
>> When replying to a message, please incude only the relavent portions
>> of the original message. For example, a post might bring up four or five
>> seperate points. If you're only going to address one of those points,
>> instead of quoting the entire original message, only include the portion

>> snipping is not necessarily better. Be careful not to snip *too* much!
>> Leave enough of the original message so that the reader can tell what is
>> going on.
>>
>> When replying to seperate parts of a message, it is a good idea to
>> insert your replies in with the original message, rather than responding
>> to all the points at the end of the message in a big block. For
>> example:
>>
>> Original message: Your reply:
>>
>> Point 1 Original poster wrote:
>> Point 2 >Point 1
>> Point 3 Your response to point 1
>>
>> >Point 2
>>
>> Your response to point 2
>>
>> >Point 3
>>
>> Your response to point 3
>>
>> Now, if someone wants to respond to your points, they just insert them
>> at the appropriate location. Be sure to leave some space between the
>> original message and your replies, to make it easier to tell the two apart.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Binary Attachments:
>>
>> These are not good. Please don't attach files to your posts. If
>> you've got something (ex: a picture, sound, etc) that you'd like
>> people to be able to see, you can either post it on your own WWW page and

>> for incusion on the DML Home Page. My address is jon@dakota-truck.net.
>>
>> NOTE: You might be sending binary attachments to the list without

>> such attachment is called TNEF. Another type puts a copy of the message at
>> the end, formatted completely in HTML. There may be others. You should go
>> through the options or preferences of your mailer and turn these things off!
>>
>> Speaking of gobbelty-gook... Please make sure that your e-mail client
>> is set to send out your messages as ASCII or "plain text" format. (As
>> opposed to HTML, "rich text", "styled text", etc.) Anything but plain
>> text will show up as gobbelty-gook for a lot of people. (Including all

>> on the list...) (Actually, the list filters are pretty decent, and if
>> you send a message to the DML which isn't plain text, it will probably
>> get bounced back at you.) Note that if you use AOL 6.0, you don't have
>> much choice; HTML attachments are forced into every message you send.
>> If you have AOL 6.0, you should send your posts to the list to
>> aol@dakota-truck.net. That will run them through a program that will
>> strip out the HTML junk before sending it off to the list.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Threads And Topics:
>>
>> (Definition: A thread is a series of posts under the same subject.)
>>
>> Oftentimes, a thread will mutate into something very different than what
>> the original post was about. If this happens, please change the subject of
>> the post (to reflect the new topic of discussion) when you reply. An
>> accepted method of doing this is to put the new subject at the beginning of
>> the subject, then the keyword "Was:", followed by the original subject.
>>
>> For example:
>>
>> Old thread: Subject: K&N Filtercharger
>> New thread: Subject: Doug Thorley headers Was: K&N Filtercharger
>>
>> This way, the subject gets changed to reflect the content of the post,
>> but people who were following the original thread will notice the change
>> and can follow the new thread, if they wish.
>>
>> Sometimes, a thread will mutate into something not related to Dakotas
>> at all. If this happens, please direct your response directly to the
>> interested parties (as opposed to the entire list). (By default, your
>> responses are sent to the list. You will have to determine who sent
>> the message, and cut and paste their e-mail address into the "To:" field.)
>> Another alternative is to use the DML Off Topic list. (See Below)
>>
>>
>> When posting, it is helpful to choose a good name for your post.
>> Try to pick a name that will give people some idea of the content of
>> your post.
>>
>> While I'm on the subject of subject names, be careful about putting
>> words that are used in administrative commands in your subject. (i.e.
>> subscribe, unsubscribe, help, etc.) If you do, the list might think that
>> you're trying to send an administrative command to the list (instead of
>> majordomo@dakota-truck.net) and it will bounce your message to me for approval.
>> When I get your message, I can approve it and send if off to the list, but
>> it'll obviously take longer for your message to go through.

>>
>>
>> Flames, Bickering, And Other Such Nonsense:
>>
>> Three words: DON'T DO IT! More words: If you feel the need to get
>> into a fightin' match with another DMLer, please do so via private e-mail.
>> There are about a thousand other DMLers who could care less about your
>> particular squabble. Plus, posts from the DML are archived for all eternity
>> and viewable by hundreds of millions of web surfers. The DML as a whole
>> has traditionally been quite good in this regard, but as our numbers grow,
>> naturally, the intimate nature of the list can start to deteriorate
>> somewhat. I don't think it necessarily HAS to be this way though, and
>> I'd really prefer if non-constructive posts of this nature were not spewed
>> across the list. Like I mentioned before, I'm not preventing you from
>> continuing your squabble, just please do it via private e-mail. I don't
>> like having to police the list, but I'm not going to let a vocal minority
>> screw up the list for everyone else, so if I have to resort to warnings
>> and bans, I will. How do you know if a thread is getting out of control?
>> Just think real hard before you send something out. Is your post a rational
>> one, based on facts, or is it full of personal attacks? Even if it is
>> rational, if we've heard it a million times before and all its doing is to
>> further a pointless argument, why post it again? A REALLY good clue is if
>> you notice other DMLers replying to the posts with messages along the lines
>> of "please take this off list", or "stop this", its best to comply and take
>> it to private e-mail. Thanks! :-)

>>
>> The DML Off Topic list:
>>
>> The DML Off Topic list was created by Mike Clark (mike@mikeclark.net) for
>> off topic posts. Basically this is a bunch of DMLers talking about
>> non-Dakota topics. On the DML Off Topic list, you can talk about whatever
>> you want! We DMLers have established quite a close-knit community, and
>> its really nice to be able to talk about other things with the people
>> we have come to know so well. Here is the info if you'd like to subscribe:
>>
>> To subscribe, send a message to: dmlofftopic-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
>> To unsubscribe, send a message to: dmlofftopic-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
>> To send a message to the list, mail it to: dmlofftopic@yahoogroups.com
