This article is from the Vietnam FAQ, by Brian Ross, John R. Tegtmeier, Edwin E. Moise, Frank Vaughan, John Tegtmeier with numerous contributions by others.
The criteria for postings are contained in the Charter. To assist
those who wish to post articles to the newsgroup, the posting
guidelines below were developed. The expressed goal of the newsgroup -
to develop a flame-free environment for discussion of all aspects of the
Indochina War - is the overarching principle in all posting guidelines.
The submission of an article to this newsgroup implicitly gives permission
for that article to be archived for distribution, and for quotation of that
article within this newsgroup for the purpose of discussion. All other
rights are assumed to remain with the contributor under the Berne
convention.
Postings are to be done in plain ASCII test. Postings using other
character sets that result in non-standard characters appearing may,
at the discretion of the moderator, be returned to the poster with
instructions to resubmit using ASCII text. The moderator may manually
change the nonstandard characters into Ascii, at his or her discretion.
Please remember that this is a moderated newsgroup. We are not on-line all
day long (this is all volunteer work) so there may be some delay from the
time you post to the time your article appears on the newsgroup. We will
try to get articles up as soon as is possible, normally within a 24 hour
time frame. We will attempt to make an administrative posting whenever an
outage of more than 48 hours is anticipated.
