FAQ, by director@gti.net (The Director) with numerous

6 Who we are...
We're pretty cool. We don't make trouble, we just like to watch porn.
Sometimes, people don't read the FAQ, and we get pissed off. It's only
fair. We read it, and now you're reading it. It's like a rite of
passage.
We offer many goods and services. Well, not so much goods, though there
is a healthy amount of trading and some commerce going on too -- Just
don't ask for Traci Lords' flicks... :)
But we excel at services. If there's stuff you need to know, you do have
places to turn...
The people in alt.sex.movies are pretty helpful, and have a good sense
of humor. However, some things to remember when posting...
a) Don't ask for replies via e-mail (if the QUESTION is worth
posting, the ANSWER will be valuable to everyone in the group).
Also, it implies YOUR time is more valuable than THEIRS, since
you're expecting _them_ to read all the posts to see yours, yet
_you're_ not willing to scan the subjects to see their reply.
b) when following up on a posting, please delete any non-relevant
lines from the original post (including header and sig). Posting
more than 10 lines from the original post is TOO MUCH. Posting no
lines from the original is TOO LITTLE.
ALSO, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT EACH TIME YOU POST, YOU'RE ASKING A COMPLETE
STRANGER TO SPEND TIME HELPING YOU:
- if the answers you receive are not what you wanted, DON'T FLAME!,
just post a follow-up note thanking the respondents for their
suggestions so far, and provide a clarified problem statement.
- if you receive no responses, DON'T PANIC!, give it a couple of
days: it takes a while for postings to propagate around the world;
sometimes your posting is similar to one posted in the previous
couple of weeks and people are sick of the topic (check your news
server's archive); sometimes your question is a 'toughie' which
requires some thinking/research time; and sometimes everyone's just
too busy.
If you get no reply after a week, try again with additional
clarification, and consider using the following format:
i) FLATTERY SECTION: "I've learned a lot from the faqs and
watching the postings for the last month, but now I have a really
tough problem for you gurus"
ii) BEGGING FOR HELP: "I've checked the FAQs, library, etc... any
advice would be appreciated (please post responses to this
newsgroup as I don't read my e-mail very often)"
- if the answers are useful, a quick _e-mail_ thanking the respondent(s)
is always appreciated
