List Policy
To make this list the best possible we have to have some rules about what can be discussed here and what cannot be discussed.
The Pod-users is a mailing list for people who uses the Line6 POD guitar box. Everyone can (and hopefully will) contribute to the list. I know from my experiences with the "Logic-user list" and the "Sound Forge users-list" that Emagic and Sonic Foundry only participates as long as the list policy is kept a bit strictly. Lets hope the Line6 people will do the same in a while.
First on the content of messages sent to the list.
· PLEASE send mail about the list itself (how it is run, should it be split, why isn't there a newsgroup, etc etc) NOT to the list, but ONLY to the list owner: arvid@viagram.no· Commercial postings are not allowed.
· If you have to compare other products (like Marshall, Mesa Boogie, etc..) to the Pod try to keep it in a nice tone.
· Please try to limit humo(u)r to just a few of these per month. Many people, me included, like the occasional funny/sarcastic mail, but it should really be occasional.
· Don't mail private messages to the list
· Don't send attachments (they will only bounce to me)
· Don't use HTML formatting in your mail to the list
· DO send "Tips and Tricks" on using the Pod!
· DO respond to questions about the Pod
Subjects.
· PLEASE DO use meaningful Subject headers in your mail!

About my policy:
I have to be rather strict, since I manage this from home with a dial-in account. Downloading huge numbers of bouncing email costs me money, which is why I try to keep that number within reasonable limits. For you Americans: calling locally is NOT free here in Norway. Hope this makes it clear. Feel free to discuss this policy with me by _private_ mail, preferably to my home account (arvid@viagram.no) If these "Laws" is not respected I can and will unsubscribe people from the list. Let's hope that Line6 will like the way I manage the list good enough so that they may want to contribute to the list in the future.
Thanks a lot for making this list the best possible.
