    Guidelines:

    * never, ever post commercial messages (aka spam) of any type —
    whether or not personal or otherwise (instead use Craigslist or
    eBay);
    * only post once/day/topic and to cut and paste and combine messages
    as appropriate to include and respond to only those pieces
    appropriate to your response (exceptions made for discussions
    where timeliness is an issue — such as when action is imminent);
    * sign your full name (so we know who you are) with your
    neighborhood (so we know the area where you live) and any
    affiliations with the particular subject matter at hand (for full
    disclosure);
    * refrain from forwarding/posting private e-mails as quoting
    personal e-mail on the list (even personal, private, off-list
    replies to list messages) without the express written consent of
    the writer is prohibited;
    * make sure messages are pertinent to the mission of  WANG —
    discussing issues that is of interest to those working to sustain
    and/or improve our neighborhood quality of life;
    * focus messages on the content and issues of substance, not on the
    individual or person; messages that focus on the individual tend
    to be perceived as an insult or personal attack;
