Hi Everyone
I think I'm turning senile. I thought I'd posted this last week!!!
Anyway, it's that time of month so here are the Charter and Rules for the forum.
As I've said in previous posts on this, it's mainly up to the members as a whole as to what
they choose to tolerate or accept. I'll only step in if there is a gross abuse - which there
hasn't been recently.
*****************************************************
MOQ_DISCUSS CHARTER
The MOQ_DISCUSS mailing list exists to provide a general and free-ranging
forum for the discussion of Robert M. Pirsig's Metaphysics of Quality.
The MOQ_DISCUSS mailing list is an unmoderated mailing list.
Members should observe the Rules of the list in order that discussions can
be conducted in in a civilized and reasonably courteous manner. Members
are encouraged to become involved in dialogue and debate but are requested
to refrain from flaming and abusive behaviour of all kinds.
Members of MOQ_DISCUSS are free to initiate a new discussion or topic by
posting a message announcing the new topic or with a Subject line
identifying the new topic.
Members of MOQ_DISCUSS are not required to participate. Members can be
active, temporarily inactive or permanent lurkers.
If it becomes necessary to remove a member from the MOQ_DISCUSS list for
persistent disregard for the rules then this will only be carried out
after reminders and warnings have been issued and reasons given. This will
hopefully be an extremely rare occurrence.
The Charter and Rules of MOQ_DISCUSS are subject to addition or
modification under the guidance of the list administrator. Any additions
or modifications will be posted to the list with reasons given.
MOQ_DISCUSS RULES
1) As a minimum requirement for joining the MOQ_DISCUSS mailing list
members must have read Lila by Robert M. Pirsig.
2) All topics and discussions must be relevant to the Metaphysics of
Quality in general or some particular aspect of Zen and the Art of
Motorcycle Maintenance or Lila.
3) Each member should limit the number of posts they submit to a maximum
of four per day.
4) Members should reproduce only the relevant parts of any previous
message to which they are responding.
5) Contributors should reproduce the Subject line of the thread/discussion

6) Where possible, posts should be restricted to plain text - no HTML,
Rich Text (RTF) or other formats should be used.
7) Posts may not contain attachments, gifs or other documents except by
arrangement with the list administrator. MOQ_DISCUSS should not be used as
a file transfer or document exchange service. Use FTP or the Web (put your
file/document on the Web and mail the list its URL).
8) Members should refrain from swearing, using offensive language and
personal attacks on other members. Abuse, in any form, will not be
tolerated.
