TopBand: 1997 Resolutions and Prop Forecast

[Bill Tippett]

10 New Year's Resolutions for the Topband Reflector:

1.  I will THINK before posting on Topband.
2.  If I'm angry, I will write my nastygram but wait 24 hours
    before sending it (and hopefully NOT send it.)
3.  I will be considerate of others who don't have unlimited
    time or money to read lengthy posts with little content.
4.  I will only post messages that actually DO have content.
5.  I will go to the appropriate frequency on 75 meters to 
    whine, gripe and complain (and keep it off Topband.)
6.  When responding to someone, I will make sure that I am not
    accidentally responding to the entire reflector.
7.  If I do post a response publicly, I will not copy the entire
    previous message when doing so.
8.  If I ask a question, I will request responses directly and
    summarize if I feel most subscribers would be interested.
9.  I will keep all topics related to 160 information only.
10. I will act like a gentleman on 160 and on this reflector.

                                73 to All and Happy New Year,

                                Bill W4ZV  List Administrator
