Save this Notice.  Moderators do not send rejection emails or debate reasons for rejection so you may need it.  

When you post to BEE-L, and if you care, verify your message was approved and posted at https://community.lsoft.com/scripts/wa-LSOFTDONATIONS.exe?A0=BEE-L&X=2336CEF7303288B0B1   If you don't see your message appear in reasonable time go back and check it against this list and re-submit if you wish. 

We have been lenient and may make some future allowances, but why not be  one of the few who can consistently follow the rules?

Reasons for Rejection
----------------------------

* Quotes of previous messages beyond the very minimum necessary for understanding.  Usually no quotes are required.

* Messy formatting.  Please separate quoted material and every paragraph with one blank line.  Watch for folded lines. 

* Quoting improperly.  For clarity, quoted lines must begin with >

* Including an attribution line such as "On XYZ, abc@def wrote" or even "John Doe said".  Don't do that.

* Messages sent to BEE-L should be intended for the entire list of over 1,000 members and not addressed to individuals.

* Junk below your own message such as parts of messages, long signatures, commercial messages, etc.

* Grandstanding, adding nothing constructive to the discussion, cheering, grunting, or being personal.
 
* Contains  words or phrases that could be construed as libel or insulting to anyone living or dead.

* Being argumentative.  Disagreeing constructively is welcomed, but flat contradicting others is forbidden.

* Trolling or going off-topic

* Unfriendly tone.

All BEE-L content goes into the searchable archive going back to the 1990s and it is important to maintain content quality. 

Occasional exceptions are made due to moderator error and special consideration for those for whom English is not native.

Thanks for understanding.
