[Harp-L] ADMIN: Overblow battles

[owner-harp-l@xxxxxxxxxx]

Holy wars are not prohibited on Harp-L, and to be honest you probably
couldn't pick a better spot for one.

You do, however, have to keep it holy. No personal attacks. No ad hominem
slurs, either (asserting, for example, that only inferior talents could
disagree with you).

This is not a guideline; this is absolutely the way it is. To quote the
Harp-L netiquette guide (http://harp-l.org/rules.html), flaming "will get
you removed FAST!"

Also: The subject of Harp-L is harmonicas -- not Harp-L. Discussions about
Harp-L -- about whether we need to discuss overblows at such length, for
instance -- do *not* belong on the list, ever. Vent your feelings in a
note to owner-harp-l@xxxxxxxxxxx

Some less urgent requests:

* Please remember to trim back quoted text in a reply.

* Please skimp on vulgarities. The camera adds pounds; the Internet adds
crudeness. You need to be a little Pollyanna-ish to compensate.

The owner waves his arms, but Harp-L's true owners are 2,078 of the
world's most accomplished, articulate, and committed players. They are
bound to disagree more than occasionally, and it's a tribute to everyone
that, in the end, respect always prevails.
