[Geysers] MODERATOR: Posting Guidelines

[Carlton Cross]

First, let me get in what I hope will be a non-controversial reminder:
Please, give your name at the end of each post.

Second, a bit of information.  The present list software (Mailman) does not
provide an editing function for postings.  The only alternative is to
cut-and-paste the text and then send it again, in which case it will come
from me rather than the author.  I suppose that's not a terrible thing, but
it does give one pause before taking the option.

Third, I am rejecting six current postings as explained below.

Four of the six express, in one form or other, objections to the allowance
of a political comment by Jack Ashe in a posting that was otherwise about
bicycles on Yellowstone trails.  One is spirited objection to bicycles on
the trails and one is a follow up on another proposed rule change that
would permit fire arms within YNP.

One of the messages is a reminder that there are other sites where
political discussions occur without objections.  For example,
http://www.yellowstone.net/forums/index.php

Several express dismay over the Moderator's failure to reject the original
political comment.

Be it understood that I stand rebuked and will diligently attempt to keep
discussions pertinent to geysers and geyser viewing.

It is the season for the Festival of Lights, and the days are getting
longer.  Peace and blessings to all.  Sing the geyser carol and check the
geyser heights.
