Terms of Use
This list is here to promote dialogue and discussion of anything related to bicycle commuting or transportation bicycling. It's a tool to promote and aid new bicycle commuters and to enhance the community of existing bicycle commuters. It is the online presence accompanying the physical gatherings of the BCMP.
The moderators of this Google group are here to enforce the normal rules of civilized behavior. We expect people to treat others as they would like others to treat them. When sending mail to this forum, imagine that the people you're writing to are all sitting around in the same room with you, and act accordingly. Any personal attacks or attacks on a group of people will not be tolerated. This includes people of certain race, color, background, profession, or any other reasonable class of people. If you violate this basic rule of civil discourse you will be removed from the list no questions asked.
What's off topic?
(1) Long for sale postings. If you have one or two items for sale, start your subject line with "FS" and list your item(s) with brief descriptions. Anything more than that is prohibited. If you have lots of stuff to sell, list it on a web page somewhere, and just post the URL. Essentially, it's fine to sell one or two things once in a while, but you can't use this forum as a place to operate your business from.
(2) Pointers to auctions.
What happens if you make off topic posts?
We will ask you to stop. And if you don't, we'll drop your email address from the forum.
What happens if you use foul language or insult other list members?
We will drop your email address from the forum without comment. Life's too short. ;-)
