About Homestead	English (USA)
C= Homestead - General discussions about Commodore C64/128 computing. Topics include 'everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink' as long as it related to Commodore computing. Here's our list Rules: Homestead Mailing List Rules Revised: 25 Mar 2009 25 Mar 09: First version, but based on the Fidonet CBM Conference Rules by Russell Prater. WHAT is the Homestead Mailing list: This list is a friendly meeting place for owners and users of Commodore Business Machines 8-bit hardware, including the PET, VIC-20, C-64, C-128, C-16, Plus/4, and other Commodore 8-bit CPU computers and peripherals. This list does NOT support the Commodore Amiga, PC or Colt lines. VALID POSTINGS: Messages in the list shall deal with items of direct interest to owners and users of Commodore 8-bit CPU machines. These may include features, applications (both hardware and software), problems, repairs, discoveries, programming (ML, BASIC, or other languages), modifications, publications, sales or trades of hardware and legally owned software, etc. INVALID POSTINGS: Messages that do not fit the above are "Off Topic" and shall not be posted in this list. If a conflict arises, the moderator's best judgement shall prevail. Examples of things that are forbidden in this list include, but are not limited to, the following. If someone finds a new way to annoy all and sundry, a new category will be added. PIRACY - Discussion of the ILLEGAL acquisition of copyrighted software or sending copyrighted software through the echo against the authors expressed wishes is forbidden. PERSONAL ATTACKS (FLAMES) - You may disagree with the viewpoint of other users. Do so politely and without "Ad Hominem" comments. OBSCENITY - Language should be appropriate for the age and gender mix of our participants. PERSONAL (CHAT) MESSAGES - Personal messages, not remotely related with Commodore computers, are "Off Topic". MODERATION: The moderator will usually reply to violations thru the list itself. This is due primarily to keeping an atmosphere of openness in moderation. So others will know that the issue has been addressed. If a member becomes 'moderated', their Emails will not appear on the list until after they have been vetted. Continued violations will result in the member being banned from posting to the list. Emails that have been rejected by the moderator will be returned to the sender with a message that their message has been rejected. Moderators of the Homestead List: Gaelyne Gasson and Bruce Thomas: homestead-admin@videocam.net.au To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Homestead Archives.
