Misc.invest.financial-plan is a *moderated* newsgroup, meaning
moderators review posts.
In general you can expect that any well-tempered post dealing with
GENERAL financial planning will be posted. Further:
1. Lengthy posts, cross posts, "colorful" language, copyrighted
material and political opinions should be directed elsewhere. And
except in flattering terms, reference to another poster or group of
people is discouraged.
2. We urge everyone to trim posts to which they respond. "Trim"
means that except for a FEW lines to provide context, the previous
posts are deleted (keep in mind that the *entire* previous post is
still on the newsgroup for all to read). For more on posting
etiquette, go to http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2000/06/14/quoting
3. The developing misc.invest.financial-plan FAQ is at
http://financial-planning.algebra.com/ Posters are requested to
refer new participants to it instead of repeating earlier discussions.
Submissions to the FAQ are encouraged and should be directed to the
FAQ Editor's private email mifp_faq at pacbell dot net
4 Advertisements/solicitations are not allowed. (A post whose
principal purpose is to direct readers to a commercial web site is a
solicitation.) A commercial reference in the signature lines is Ok as
long as the body of the post makes a substantive contribution.
5. For posts that do not comply with the guidelines: Providing the
poster used a working email address, the moderators will return the
post with a suggestion/comment. Where the post is from a repeat
offender or spammer the moderators will ignore the post.
6. The moderators have adopted a fast approval process for those
posters who *consistently* comply with the guidelines. That list is
reviewed periodically for both additions and deletions.
Lastly, the moderators, while brilliant <grin>, cannot explain why
posts occasionally appear on some news readers and not on others.
Inquiries about same should be directed to the affected news server.
*** If you wish to comment on the newsgroup's operation, please do so
by email at the following addresses. While we read every message, we
may not be able to respond to every comment/question.
