APPROPRIATE USE POLICY OF ELECTRONIC MAIL:
The spirit of the e-mail usage policy is simple. You may not
communicate through e-mail anything that you cannont communicate
through other media

Lists configured under a list server and accessed via e-mail
not provided as a medium for free expression unrelated to the
mission and scope of the specific list.

E-mail Internet etiquette (netiquette) is expected. Do not send
abusive, harassing or bigoted messages. While messages of this
type are hard to define at times; exercise good judgment and
consider the perspective of others.

Wiscnet is the Internet Service Provider for the University
of Wisconsin-Extension and its Madison-based server, uwex.edu.
We ask that you abide by the following policy:
