Thanks for everyone that helped with drafting these revisions.

========================================

Guidelines

Any subscriber can post a message to the mailing lists.The 
host and owner of the lists is not moderating, filtering or 
editing any message sent to the lists. The mailing lists are 
being archived and postings will be made available on the 
onebuilding.org web site under the terms of the GNU Free

Subscribers to the list should follow these simple guidelines:

* Be courteous.

* No discussion outside of the topic of the list.

simulation program you are asking about.

building rating system you are asking about.

posting.

* Please check the mailing list archive before posting.

* On eQUEST-users when asking about specific issues is often 
helpful to attach a ZIP compressed file containing the INP 
and PD2 files.

performance rating methods are welcome and encouraged on the 
mailing lists. These are restricted to your choice of a 
single onebuilding.org mailing list and no more often than 
once per month.

mailing lists (no spam is tolerated).

start with the words HELP WANTED. Announcements must be for 
a specific jobs available at time of posting.

restricted to three postings per class on your choice of one 
onebuilding.org mailing list. The subject line must start 
with the word TRAINING.

restricted to two postings per year on your choice of one 
onebuilding.org mailing list. The subject line must start

based support for future questions, you may include a single 
line in your signature block explaining services offered.

* No other services may be offered on the mailing lists.

* No resumes or help-available or looking-for-work postings 
are allowed on the mailing lists.

* If your question is on a specific building energy 
simulaton program that already has a onebuilding.org mailing 
list, please post to your questions to that mailing list 
first. If no answer is received within a few days, posting 
to BLDG-SIM on the same topic is welcome.

* Do not post the same message on multiple mailing lists 
within 24 hours.

* Do not attach copywritten materials without the permission 
of the copywrite owner although short quotes are welcome.

* And remember ... be courteous.

The owner of this list may remove anyone from the list that 
violates these rules.
