Monthly posting of the guidelines for participation in the C/400 Language
and MI programming Mailing List.

Keep to the subject.  The topic of the list is C, C++, and MI Programming
on and for the IBM i. This includes programming on other platforms in
C/C++ when it RELATES to the IBM i.  Eg: Considerations of Sockets
programming from Windows to the IBM i using MSVC & ILE/C is allowed and
encouraged.  How to manipulate a ClistView object in the Windows world is
not allowed.

When quoting messages, do not quote the entire message.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 C/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.

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

Political discussion is completely inappropriate for this, and most,
midrange.com hosted lists.

PLEASE NOTE: When posting to the list, any personally identifying
information in your message will be included in the list.  Email
addresses, however, are masked when being formatted for the list
archives.  If you include a standard signature in all messages, consider
using the internet standard for signature separator (as defined in RFC
3676, http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3676) of '-- ' (that's dash dash
space).  The list archiving software will automatically stop including
the message when it encounters the marker.

When posting a long weblink (URL), consider using http://bitly.com to
shorten it.  Some mail programs wrap long text and cause URL's to break.

By posting to this mailing list, you are granting MIDRANGE.COM and
David Gibbs (david-Zwy7GipZuJhWk0Htik3J/[email protected]) perpetual, non-exclusive, unlimited,
and irrevocable, rights to the content.

This list IS copyrighted as a compilation.  Republication of this mailing 
list, for anything other than personal use, without the explicit permission 
of the list owner is a violation of U.S.  Copyright Law and will be dealt 
with as such.

PLEASE do not report list messages to your mail providers abuse / spam
department.  This results in a black mark against midrange.com and,
depending on the mail provider's policies, can cause mail delivery 
delays for everyone who uses both midrange.com with that mail provider.  
midrange.com does treat abuse reports very seriously and acts upon them 
immediately.  When abuse reports are received, and the reporting person 
can be identified, they will be removed from all lists immediately ... 
and then a follow-up email will be sent.

If you wish to be unsubscribed from a list and cannot do so through the 
normal mechanisms (identified at the bottom of every list message), 
please contact the list owner or support-FMtJrHiV//lnDLsaKlm4mFaTQe2KTcn/@public.gmane.org for assistance.

Collecting or "Mining" of email address from this forum, or any related
web archive, is strictly and explicitly prohibited (not to mention that
it is extraordinarily unprofessional).
