Ethics and Conduct
The moderators will defend dignity and order on this list.
-
This is a mailing list for people who support the national organizing effort
of Equal Parents of Canada, for the purpose of restoring the child's
right to both parents, even in separating and divorced families.
You should not subscribe, or you should unsubscribe, if you are not a supporter.
-
Subscribers should keep it in mind that this is not a closely-guarded
private forum, and express themselves with dignity.
-
People contributing to this list may have terrible anger and grief, but
don't
talk hate here.
-
This is a place for exchanging knowledge and understanding. We will sometimes
disagree, but don't fight with others on the list.
-
Please respect the time and convenience of others, and show good
"netiquette".
For example, do not reply to a long message by including all of its text,
and adding a short comment of your own - instead, type in your comment,
and delete as much as you can of the original message. This kind
of thing is a major cause of irritation on email lists. Please read
the page on netiquette,
by clicking on the word in this sentence.
-
Please don't re-mail messages from other lists or newsgroups. If
you think you have an exceptional case, please contact a moderator by sending
an email to one of the people listed in the moderators section, below.
-
If you have a conduct question or wish to appeal any moderator's ruling,
please send email in private to any of the moderators in the list provided
below. If you lodge an appeal, the outcome will be announced to the
list only if you want it announced. The moderators may, at their
discretion, answer private questions from subscribers regarding appeal
outcomes concerning any moderator's ruling. Please note that the
moderators have all the rights of ordinary subscribers, and you must not
abuse them.
Subscribers may be suspended or barred for persistent discourtesy.
Subscribing
-
Probably, the easiest way for you to subscribe would be to go to http://www.topica.com/,

option, or, if you prefer, instructions about how to subscribe by email.
Either way is quick and easy.
