What are the protocols and good etiquette of the list?
The list is intended as a discussion vehicle for fire, law enforcement, security and public safety training issues. Members may argue, dispute, and constructively criticize in a respectful and professional manner. Personal attacks of individuals are not acceptable and will not be tolerated. There is no advertising of products that go beyond the “informational” stage. However, service announcements, public events of member benefit, fire organization minutes, position openings, are acceptable. Please check with an administrator if you are unsure about a posting. The list is not a vehicle to conduct personal conversations not related to training related issues. Please do not send the “How are you” or similar posts to the list. Personal notes should be sent directly to your correspondent. A personal exchange over the list is not of interest to all the other members. Also, requests to “fax a copy or call me” should be handled off line. Every post has the sender’s mail address. Additionally,
