          Guidelines for Posting to Rec.Audio.High-End

Rec.Audio.High-End is the newsgroup devoted to serious discussions of High
End Audio; it is bidirectionally gatewayed to the Internet mailing list 
Info-High-Audio.

Rec.Audio.High-End is intended to serve those who pursue audio as more than
just a passing interest. Any number of subjects might be discussed on R.A.H-E,
what type of regulator works best, high-end equipment reviews, discussions 
about recording techniques or recording reviews. 

Since this is a serious forum and not rec.humor, I'd like to keep the
discussions serious. This is also not alt.flame; please try to limit posting
temperatures to luke-warm. 

Some subjects are more appropriate for rec.audio --- these include:

"What's the best $195 speaker?"
"Where can I get XXXX headphones?"
"Distilled snake oil can never work!"

I don't like rejecting postings. I really don't. I REALLY REALLY don't. I
might, though, for a few reasons: your spelling and grammar are so bad even
I can't decipher your post; there are so many factual errors even I know you
don't know what you're talking about; or the subject is more appropriate for
rec.audio or rec.humor.

Please send your posting through a spell checker before you send it, so
others don't think you're an idiot.

You may also want to include some kind of signature file, as the inews on
this machine is determined to strip off and otherwise mangle as many headers
as it can. The address for submission, if you want to mail it, is

		info-high-audio@csd4.csd.uwm.edu

There is an archive available, but only by anonymous FTP. Don't ask me to
mail you a lot of back issues, because I won't. If you want one, maybe two,
send me mail and we'll discuss it. If you want it all, send me a nine-track
quarter-inch tape (reel, NOT cartridge!) that'll do 6250 bpi and I'll tar it
off for you. The FTP archive is in the directory "high-audio" and is
compressed. "uncompress" is available from comp.sources archives.

These are only guidelines; I'd like some feedback on them. The net community
voted me as moderator; part of that "job" is the responsibility is to give
you the kind of newsgroup you voted for. Send comments directly to me.
