Some Netiquette Notes for our group

[DonL]

Hi Everyone!

I'm breaking down our usual "Monthly Message" into two shorter parts;
they include this Netiquette message, will usually be posted sometime
near the middle of the month, and our usual "Message from your
Moderators" that will appear close to the first of each month.

             ************************

           Some Netiquette Hints for our group

These suggestions will help you communicate effectively with our
group.

Trimming Replies;
     Please remove extraneous information from your posts. If quoting
a previous message, it is preferable to quote only the minimum amount
of text that pertains to your reply, not the entire message. This
streamlines your answer and will be especially appreciated by our
Daily Digest subscribers who have to scroll through all of each
message to get to the next message. A good rule of thumb is not to
have the material you quote be longer than your reply.
New members to our group are moderated for a short time, and the
group's moderators often are able to remove unnecessary bandwidth
from the posts of our newest members, but after a short time members
are expected to do this themselves.

Daily Digest subscribers, please be careful not to re-post the entire
digest with your reply.

Keep Subject Headers Updated;
     If you start a new thread or if the topic drifts, remember to
provide a new header for the thread. This will help other members
scan subject lines quickly to find information on a particular topic.

Before posting, please re-read and edit your post to make sure it is
a useful and positive addition to our discussions.

Thanks for being part of Yahoo's Backpacking Light group!

Was on a list about mid 1990's about packing.
They had two rules.
#1) Use common sense.
#2) Failure to use obey rule you will be banned from
the list for 30 years.

The person who typed up the rules goofed.  It was
suppose to be 30 days but they did not change it and
no one ever violated rule #1 while I was on that list.
That list changed over into several others.

Sorry to disappoint Ralph, but only your base weight was 6 oz.  Unfortunately you
splurged on the consumables and carried Don's full 9lbs with you!!

Still, I guess you can always eat your words.

one or two persons on this list may have purchased one
or two of this toothpaste we thought it may be the
right thing to do:

[FDA-RECALLS-L] MainStar America, LLC Issues Urgent
Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Toothpaste

FDA posts press releases and other notices of recalls
and market withdrawals from the firms involved as a
service to consumers, the media,  and other interested
parties. FDA does not endorse either the product
or the company. This listserv covers mainly Class I
(life-threatening) recalls. A complete listing of
recalls can be found in the FDA Enforcement Report at:

<http://www.fda.gov/opacom/Enforce.html>http://www.fda.gov/opacom/Enforce.html

Contact: Mr. Ernesto H. Botta  [phone]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Miami, FL -- June 13, 2007
MainStar America, LLC, Miami, Florida, is initiating a
nationwide recall in accordance with the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) of the toothpaste made in
China involving:
    * Lot #20060708 Item # 160-850 Dr. Cool Toothpaste

Toothpaste 25 GR./ 1 OZ.
    * UPC # 6926597089539
This recall has been initiated because the products

(DEG). DEG is used in antifreeze and as a solvent, and
is a Central Nervous System depressant and potent
kidney and liver toxin.

PLEASE RETURN ALL PRODUCTS IMMEDIATELY TO THE STORES
WHICH YOU PURCHASED THEM.

CONSUMERS WHO HAVE THE PRODUCTS SHOULD STOP USING/
RETURN / THROW AWAY.

Retailers immediately examine your inventory and
quarantine product subject to recall. In addition, if
you may have further distributed this product,
please identify your customers and notify them at once
of this product recall. Your notification to your
customers may be enhanced by including a copy of this
recall notification.

This voluntarily nationwide recall is being made with
the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration. No injuries or illnesses have been
reported to date in connection with this problem.

Adverse Reactions or quality problems experience with
the use of this product may be reported to the FDA's

Seems to me the message is: DON'T BUY CHINESE!  They have put poison
in wheat gluten because it confuses the test for protein and gives a
higher reading (sickening and killing hundreds, maybe thousands of
dogs and cats, and who knows what it has done to humans who consumed
products with that poisoned wheat gluten).  They put anti-freeze in
cold medicine which killed a number of children in Central America.
And now there's the toothpaste thing.

DON'T BUY CHINESE PRODUCTS!  It's obvious there are no standards for
products coming out of that country, and some unscrupulous business
owners are doing everything they can, including putting poison into
food products, to increase their bottom line.

LOL! As moderators we try to use common sense in enforcing our
netiquette suggestions. Generally we're pretty understanding of
those oversights that occur to everyone occasionally.

However, rudeness, SPAM, and seriously off-topic posts can get their
originators banned here for a _minimum_ of 300 years! :o)
Cheers,  Don L.

Don:
Just wondering how FAR off topic could a person go
without getting banned from this list?

Or how close to the banning line could a person get
without getting flamed?

pretty understanding of those oversights that occur to
everyone occasionally.  However, rudeness, SPAM, and
seriously off-topic posts can get their originators
banned here for a _minimum_ of 300 years! :o)

Was on a list about mid 1990's about packing.
They had two rules.
#1) Use common sense.
#2) Failure to use obey rule you will be banned
from the list for 30 years.
The person who typed up the rules goofed.  It was
suppose to be 30 days but they did not change it and
no one ever violated rule #1 while I was on that list.
That list changed over into several others. CNB

Well, you can try that, but it would be pretty hard to do.  They make a lot.

Seems to me the message is: DON'T BUY CHINESE! They have put poison
in wheat gluten because it confuses the test for protein and gives a
higher reading (sickening and killing hundreds, maybe thousands of
dogs and cats, and who knows what it has done to humans who consumed
products with that poisoned wheat gluten). They put anti-freeze in
cold medicine which killed a number of children in Central America.
And now there's the toothpaste thing.

DON'T BUY CHINESE PRODUCTS! It's obvious there are no standards for
products coming out of that country, and some unscrupulous business
owners are doing everything they can, including putting poison into
food products, to increase their bottom line.
