exactly George, perhaps there might need updating to take into account
technology in 2016. I am not saying there is anything wrong with the current
guidelines, I am simply saying that perhaps there is always room to update
according to trends.

Well here are the list Guidelines again. I just hope none arrive blank.
These have been in place for a considerable length of time.

Policy & Guidelines
The revised guidelines below are designed to outline in detail the code of
conduct which is expected from its members.
Please be sure that you understand these but feel free to contact the Group
Owner if you want further clarification.
1 This list is primarily set up for UK users of Access Technology to
discuss any technical problems which are related to either the hardware or
software they are using.
2 Members can discuss access products in relation to mainstream software
or hardware.
3 The group is UK based but membership is open to international
subscribers.
4 The group is made up from technology users of all walks of life.
Knowledge and experience is vast amongst its members. It is therefore an
excellent resource for new members and those less experience to be able to
ask questions. Irrespective of your level of knowledge or experience, you
should not be afraid to ask something which you may feel is silly or not
important. Chances are that someone else wanted to know the same thing or
perhaps didn't think of it.
5 Personal comments or remarks of a slanderous or derogatory nature
directed to any of the group's members will not be tolerated.
6 Grievances between members should be directed to the list owner and not
aired on list.
7 The list owner reserves the right to terminate or ban any member who
contravenes the guidelines despite previous warnings and, without notice.
8 All messages sent to the group should be in plain text.
9 No file attachments are permitted.
10 Try to avoid reply messages such as "me to" and "I thought that".
11 This group is not a platform to air personal grievances against any one
company. For example, minor delays in receiving software or goods.
12 Please keep subject lines on topic. Where the subject content changes,
please amend the subject heading before sending.
Advertising Policy
The following guidelines should be closely followed:
1 Blatant advertising is not in any way permitted on this list. This can
be defined as advertising complete outlines of the products and services
which a company can offer along with prices.
2 No company or product press releases are to be sent.
3 Information however is important for this group's membership and small
notices no larger than one screen of text can be sent outlining briefly the
product or announcement and directing people to a website address so they can
have the choice of whether or not they want to read about it.
4 If you consider that your posting can be interpreted as an announcement,
please put ANNOUNCEMENT at the beginning of the subject line.
5 Companies or individuals who overstep this will firstly be given a
warning and asked to ensure this doesn't happen again.
6 Where step 5 is ignored, the company or individual will be removed
without notice.
Please follow these guidelines as best as possible and make the group an even
better resource.
