Rules of the Road for Tic-Tech (as of February 1, 2001). This document is
distributed to members on the first of every month.

Tic-Tech is meant to be a forum for discussion and sharing of technology
related education issues in Seattle - and beyond. This broad description
means that issues discussed may be wide ranging. Tic-Tech is a moderated
list. Messages submitted to the list are approved by the moderator before
they are distributed to subscribers.

There is a web site for Tic-Tech with lots of useful information about
the list: http://fp.seattleschools.org/fpclass/tic-tech/ This address
appears at the end of every Tic-Tech message.

List messages are archived on the web at
http://www.learningspace.org:88/hypermail/tictech/ There is a link to
this archive from the Tic-Tech on the Web site. Messages can be sorted
by date, author, subject, or thread - really handy for looking though
recent conversations in order, seeing who has written lately, reading
that message deleted too quickly, etc. It is also real easy to respond
to the poster of a message from this interface.

Posting and Replying Guidelines:
1. Your name and email address must be included in messages posted to
tic-tech. Not only is it good etiquette and a nice courtesy, it makes
life a lot easier for those who would like to respond personally to you.

2. When replying to someone's message, include enough of the original
message so people will know exactly what you're responding to. It's not
necessary to include the whole original message, just enough so folks
remember what the original question or point was.
  
3. Not allowed: attachments, commercial advertisements, profanity,
political agendas, flames, personal attacks, etc. If you have an
attachment (say a Word document) that you'd like to send, please post it
as plain text.

4. Please post messages in plain text. For Exchange/Outlook users, go to
"Format", and then "Plain Text" before sending. If you post an html
formatted message, it may not make it to tic-tech looking quite the way
you sent it.

5. To SEND a message to Tic-Tech, email to tic-tech@tic.ssd.k12.wa.us Be
aware that a normal REPLY will go to the whole Tic-Tech list. It is
certainly possible to reply to only the sender - just be sure the address
you want is in the "To" field.

Happy Groundhog Day!
