Hi, All!
Hi, Alexey!

> Yours sincerely, Alexey Ivanov
And is anyone against the new law-abiding subscribers who don’t
create flames here, if only because they are here with “bird” rights? It's better
read, then we get here... ;-)

>Fido7 is not a normal usenet hierarchy, it is Russian-language ECHOMAIL
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
how did you like it?, but in these words, besides disgusting, alas, there is some truth

but read, including

squabbles and madam or sir programs can still happen, so here you go, gentlemen, comrades! ;-)

>First of all, if you are a long-time fido7 subscriber and are well acquainted with
the rules and traditions of Fidonet, we ask you to forgive us for the inconvenience caused
to you. If you write to the fido7 group for the first time, you
need to familiarize yourself with some rules. Fido7 is not an ordinary Usenet hierarchy, it is an echomail of the Fidonet network passed through a gateway.
>Therefore, the following, rather strict, rules apply here:
>
>1. Any kind of commerce is strictly prohibited in most Fidonet groups.
> Please note that commerce is considered *any* action
> directly aimed at receiving *any* money. For example,
> even an advertisement for the sale of an old children's bicycle for ten thousand
>wooden rubles may result in the most severe punishment.
>
>2. Do not post to the fido7 hierarchy group until you
> receive, read and agree to the rules of that group. In
> most groups, the Moderator publishes the rules once every month or two.
> In some groups the rules are not published. You can write to such
> a group only if you have been reading it for more than a month and are absolutely sure
> that your message will not offend anyone.
>
>3. Articles sent to group(s) of the fido7 hierarchy and simultaneously to
> group(s) of other hierarchies will only appear in fido7 groups. The remaining
> groups will be removed from the Newsgroups list. It is strongly not
> recommended to make cross-posts in more than two fido7 groups.
> Naturally, this also applies to sending individual articles of the same
> content.
>
>4. Do not quote more than is necessary to understand what is being said. Excessive quoting is generally prohibited by group rules.
>
>5. Don't put long signatures. As a rule, a signature should not be
> more than one line. Remember that your E-mail address and the name
of the organization are already in the title of your posting. The Fidonet
> public really doesn't like reading long signatures.
>
>6. Highly recommendedhighlighting quotes with the ">" symbol and not some other
> - this is a standard in Fidonet.
>
>7. Do not write postings addressed to someone personally, especially if
> this is an “attack.”
>
>8. The "From:" field of your postings must contain your full domain
> address and real name. Do not post as "root", "admin"
>, etc.
>
>Unfortunately, we are forced to refuse registration of addresses in domains that
>allow anonymous receipt of addresses, such as usa.net, hotmail.com and
>like. This is due to the fact that such addresses are used by online hooligans for the purpose of deliberately violating group rules, bypassing the ban of the moderator. If you have serious reasons preventing
>from using a “real” address, write about it to
><gatek...@fido7.ru>, and perhaps we can register you
>"manually".
>
>If you agree to abide by these rules, send an e-mail to:
>
> <regi...@fido7.ru>
>
>and anywhere in the body In this letter, place the following “magic
number”: 2751190242. After a short time, you will receive an e-mail
confirmation of your registration, and from that moment on, your messages will
>(we hope) freely arrive in the group. Please note
>that registration is done using the address from the From: header of your article, and
>not from the Reply-To: header.
>
>After confirming your registration, you may want to
>submit your article again. In this case, a copy of it is contained in the next
part of this message.
>
>Please keep in mind that if you violate the above
rules, or the rules of a specific group, your access to fido7 may be
>closed.

Now I hasten to invite all interested parties on November 1 to look at
relcom.talk for RFD (call for discussion) regarding the opening of the Relcom
echorelcom.comp.speccy. An article with the following SUBJ:(RFD(relcom.comp.speccy)) will
contain a draft Charter that has already been presented to the network coordinator. The new echo will be bilingual (Russian-English, that is, most articles are planned to be translated from English into Russian, and from Russian into English at the request of subscribers, in addition to the moderator
there will be Russian-speaking and English-speaking co-moderators, however, the latter is more likely bilingual :)) and will be “visible” anywhere in Sharik. And interest in Russia is occasionally
already manifested in comp.sys.sinclair. With the advent of the new echo, we hope to strengthen
international connections between spektrumists of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova and the Baltic countries with the whole world. If FIDO shows interest, we can transform it into a
joint echo.
Everyone-all-everyone who has access to Relcom
we will create a new one echo. In terms of topics, it does not duplicate either zx.spectrum or spb.speccy.
There will be a rigid structure of messages under headings (more than 10 headings), reducing any
flame to zero, feedback from the moderator(s) and many other things, in general
see the draft charter.
If dear co-moderators and the zx.spectrum moderator do not against, I can post it here
or soap to everyone.
We hope for friendship and cooperation.
At the request of the initiative group.
Savichev Andrey V. AKA m@s mas...@satan.spb.su , by the way, internet soap
walks all the way to Moldova <-> St. Petersburg, amazing!
Have a good hunt everyone!
