04 What should I post to alt.books.david-gemmell?

Some newsgroups prefer you to keep your conversation entirely
on-topic, and give a strict list of what that means. The
alt.books.david-gemmell group is a place for David Gemmell fans to
chat and mingle, and as such, almost anything of interest to the
readers is on-topic and fine for posting. However, please use your
common sense, and observe that the following will not be tolerated,

Any binary/non-text posting of any sort. Keep binaries to the
alt.binaries hierarchy. By all means, if you've got something
relevant to show people, put it on the web and post a link in
the group.

Any HTML/non-plain text formatted posts. Usenet is a plain text
environment. Many usenet readers do so using Unix systems and/or
text only applications. If you post in HTML, many people will
NOT be able to read your post. Don't do it. Do not post in both
text and HTML and think this will be better, it isn't, it
doubles the size of your post (at least) and just annoys people.

Advertising, SPAM, chain-letters, make-money-quick schemes, etc.
postings are not welcome. Keep them out.

As long as you avoid these types of postings, your message will
probably be on-topic and welcome in alt.books.david-gemmell.
