ADMIN: Discrimination

[TECHWR-L Administrator <admin -at- RAYCOMM -dot- COM>]

Gang,
Can we not address the "discrimination" issue? The original
poster is from the Netherlands and presumably the job
is from the same general region. Thus, likely nobody
cares what the _United States_ federal laws say,
and various discrimination laws aren't really appropriate for
discussion here anyway.
Thanks!
Eric


POSTING RULES FOR TECHWR-L
     Revised 31 July 1998

I strongly encourage everyone to read and understand these
rules before posting to TECHWR-L. Any list member may
be removed from the list, at the listowner's discretion,
for flagrant or repeated infractions. Additionally, if
you are abusive to the listowner or other list members,
you may be removed from the list.


     CHECK THE ARCHIVES BEFORE POSTING! Archives are available at
     http://www.documentation.com/techwrit/techwrit-l.htm
     and at http://listserv.okstate.edu/archives/techwr-l.html
     and at http://www.dejanews.com/ and at http://www.reference.com/.

     WHAT TO POST
     * If it is about technical communication and of general
       interest, post it.
     * If it is about technical communication and original and
       humorous, post it.
        * If it is a job offer for technical communicators, post it.

     WHAT NOT TO POST
     * If it doesn't clearly and directly relate to technical
       communication, don't post it.
     * If it relates to _language use_ but not technical
       communication, it probably isn't appropriate.
       Don't post it.
     * If it relates to _computer use_ but not technical
       communication, it probably isn't appropriate.
       Don't post it.
     * If it continues an irrelevant thread in any way
       (rebuttal, rebuke, rerun, revision, remark), don't
       post it.
     * If it is a personal message to a single subscriber,
       don't post it. Even if mail to that person bounces.
     * If you aren't sure, don't post it.
     * If it is a test message, do not post it. Ever. Contact
       the listowner if you have problems posting or with your
       subscription.
     * If it is something cute, interesting, or funny that
       you found on the Internet (e.g. Dr. Seuss on Tech
       Writing, origin of spam), don't post it. I assure
       you that most readers have seen it already.

     OTHER
     * Check your facts on anything you post. Do not under
       any circumstances post virus warnings or anything else
       designed to be "forwarded to everyone you know" to this
       list.
     * Do not directly attack anyone for anything on the list.
       Take issue with ideas, not personalities, and do
       NOT point out grammatical, spelling, or usage errors.
       This forum is not the place to exercise editorial
       frustration.
     * Edit all unnecessary quoted messages and TECHWR-L footers
       out of your postings, and make sure that you send only
       plain text messages and no attachments to the list.
     * Please do post job ads -- they are welcome. Please
       put the location and general job description in the
       Subject line. E.g. something like
       JOB: Sr. Tech Writer, SF, California, USA.
     * Do not post job ad critiques. If you don't like the
       job, don't apply. If you have an issue with the
       terminology or phrasing, take it up off-line
       with the company.
     * Please do not post other ads in any form, for they are
       not welcome. The one exception is for ads that directly
       address a topic under discussion on the list. For example, if
       a reader posts a question about snazzling software and
       the company you work for makes Snazzler for Doors, posting
       information about the product would be fine.
     * Please make sure your E-mail address is included in
       the body of the message you post to the list.
     * If responses are sent to you--not to the whole list--please
       summarize and post the entire summary back to the list.
       A summary should include attributions so others can pick
       up conversations offline if necessary with original posters.
       When you send a summary back to the list, use the word
       "SUMMARY" as the first word of the "Subject" line."
     * Direct all commentary about this message to my
       address, not the list.
