Misc.invest.financial-plan is a *moderated* newsgroup, meaning
moderators review posts to assure compliance with the newsgroup's
guidelines.
In general you can expect that any well-tempered post dealing with
general financial planning will be posted. Further:
1. Lengthy posts, cross posts, "colorful" language, copyrighted
material, test posts, in depth conversations in one area of financial
planning and political opinions should be sent elsewhere. And except
in flattering terms, reference to another poster or group of people is
inappropriate.
2. Posters should trim posts to which they respond. "Trim" means
that except for a FEW lines to provide context, the previous posts are
deleted. For more on posting etiquette, go to
http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2000/06/14/quoting
3. Advertisements/solicitations are always off-topic. A commercial
reference in the signature lines - including references to personal
websites/blogs - is Ok as long as the body of the post makes a
substantive contribution.
4. Where posts do not comply with the guidelines and the poster uses
a working email address and the Moderator has time, the moderators
will return the post with a suggestion/comment. Posts from repeat
offenders will be deleted.
The moderators have adopted a fast approval process for those posters
who *consistently* comply with the guidelines. That list is reviewed
periodically for both additions and deletions.
Further, the moderators cannot explain why posts occasionally appear
on some news readers and not on others. Inquiries about same should
be directed to the affected news server.
Lastly, readers who wish to comment on the newsgroup's operation
should do so by email at the following addresses. While we read every
message, we may not be able to respond to each comment/question.
