ANNOUNCING THE SUPER-BITCH ECHO
- stolen from Ruth Argust

The text below was extracted from announcements on several echos. When I suggested to Ruth that an announcement in Fidonews would be appropriate, she responded in true super-bitch tradition. Her response, to "stuff it" was interpreted by this reporter as permission to print her material.


For the time of your life, request the SUPER-BITCH echo from your uplink. We will tease, bitch at and generally make nuisances of ourselves by harrassing the *C's and *EC's. The ElfLords won't want to miss it either since you will want to know what we are up to :)

This is an non-partisan announcement made in the general public interest of promotion of fairness to Super-Bitches everywhere.

These are the Echo Rules for the Echo:

(Please remember that, in keeping with the spirit of this conference, the echo rules are also tongue in cheek echo rules. If you would like to insert your tongue somewhere else, please contact a moderator via the echo.)

THE SUPER-BITCH CONFERENCE RULES

This is the FidoNet International Echomail conference SUPER-BITCH. This echo is for the uncivilized and immature discussion of issues affecting FidoNet. The Super-Bitches will usually treat each other with respect, and attack all others.

Official language: Flaming, with tongue in cheek.

These rules will be posted whenever we feel like it. If the participants cannot look up the ELRUL file, then they deserve appropriate treatment at the hands of the Super-Bitches.

Feed cuts will be ordered liberally, particularly when any of the Super-Bitches has PMS, but also whenever they feel pissed off with their SO or the family dog or the neighbour.

Echo rules:

  • Stick with the topic of the Echo. Or not.
  • Leave MODERATING to the MODERATORS. You might piss us off otherwise.
  • The Super-Bitches will respond to all offtopic posts - including "Tests".
  • Quote only that which ties to your reply--stop QUOTAHOLISM, unless you feel like quoting.
  • Feel free to request routine FidoNet info here, instead of asking your local NC. We'll provide you with the RIGHT answers.
  • The posting of "test" msgs is considered annoying behavior. But then, so is any post. Super-Bitches reserve the right to flame anyone who posts or even lurks.
  • Use this conference for corresponding to the moderators; discuss echo policy in the open echo.
  • Correction of the spelling, grammar, or style of other people's messages is reserved to the Super-Bitches.
  • If you wish to chastise someone, make sure the Super-Bitches will agree the person needs chastisement. Then go ahead.
  • These rules were bashed off quickly, and are not expected to be definitive or even suitable. They will need to be discussed to death and argued over for at least five years before we agree on any changes.

The Moderators are:

  • Lesley-Dee Dylan
  • Lynn Gipson
  • Andrea Santos
  • and Ruth Argust
