The GRIFFY-L listowner is Cindy Heavilin, Canton, OH USA sinzan@raex.com

A special thanks is extended to the people at IUPUI for allowing us use of this LISTSERV® site for the GRIFFY-L list. Without them, this list would not be possible.

ABOUT GRIFFY-L

This list was created to provide a forum for the discussion of all topics related to the Brussels Griffon. This is an open, unmoderated forum in which all topics related to Brussels Griffon can be discussed openly and constructively. This list is open to all who know and love the Brussels Griffon, from the pet owner to the BIS breeder to the HIT owner. GRIFFY-L is also for the people that are new and want to learn about the breed and to help the rescue Griffs in need. We caution you to please refrain from references to specific breeders, kennels, or dogs in your discussion for lawsuits can and have been brought because of comments made in internet groups such as this.
Advertisements of any kind are NOT to appear on this list. Personal flames directed to anyone on or off the list are *strongly* discouraged. Any persistent *flaming* that occurs may result in the involuntary signoff of subscriber(s) responsible. On the other hand, we are here to share information and learn from each other, so candid, lively discussion is encouraged.

By continuing your subscription on the GRIFFY-L List you agree to the conditions and rules stated in this welcome.

GRIFFY-L RULES

1. Please be sure to include your "signature" (name, e-mail address, and location) at the bottom of your post. This allows you to receive replies privately. Please keep SIG's to a maximum of six lines.
2. If your reply wouldn't interest anyone except the person you're replying to, send it privately. Remember to check the address that you are sending the message to, before hitting the send button (i.e. list or private address). I have seen many posts go to lists that were meant to be private and this has resulted with a red-in-the-face sender, I know because it has happened to me! One liners of " Congrat’s" "sorry" "me too" etc., should go by private mail.
3. Try to use informative subject lines for your posts. If the subject has changed throughout the thread, change the subject line accordingly (new subject name (was re: old subject name). If you are on DIGEST, please don't forget to change the subject line to something pertinent to the post to which you are replying.
4. If you are replying to a previous post, DO NOT include the full text of the original post as many people receive their e-mail through services that charge based on the length of the e-mail. Always remember to edit out the top and bottom banner, as they appear on each new message automatically. Include only pertinent information or summarize. On the other hand, don't reply to a previous post without at least referencing the original discussion. If you are having trouble with formating messages, please feel free to email us privately at: GRIFFY-L-REQUEST@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU for help.
5. Cross-posting is not allowed on this list. If you have a rescue post concerning a Brussels Griffon, edit out all of the headers and footers from the list that the post originated and send only the pertinent information about the rescue and ask for replies to be sent privately. Rescue posts should only concern Brussels Griffons and/or Griffy mixes.
6. Feel free to disagree with other people but refrain from personal attacks and stick to the issues. No flames! If you are making a strong statement that is your opinion, you may want to add IMO (in my opinion) or IMHO (in my honest/humble opinion). A first time flamer will receive a warning. The second time the flamer will be put on review or deleted from the list depending on the severity of the situation. Any disrespect to the list owners concerning the management of the list will result in immediate removal from the list.
   Flame: Any derogatory remark directed at a specific person or group of people.
7. DO NOT send any attachments what-so-ever to the list. Messages must be sent in plain text, not the fancy Rich Text Format (RTF).
8. Do not send any virus warnings to the list or forward a message to the list, even if the message is from a member, without clearing it through the owner first.  If the message says to send to as many people as you can, it is probably a hoax.  A good site to check out viruses and hoaxes is:   http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/index.html   Never include a phone number of a non-member in a post to the list. Under no circumstances should a message from GRIFFY-L be forwarded to a non-member unless permission is obtained from the author of the post.  Likewise, anything sent to the list that is not original, should be accompanied by the author's permission by virtue of the copyright laws. 
9. Litter announcements are allowed to be posted once and only if the member posting is also the litter owner.  Replys concerning availability should be sent privately.
10. Feel free to ask about judges, but any replies must be sent in a private post not via the list.
11. This is not a commercial list. A line in your SIG will not be considered advertising or will a reference to your web page. A one time post announcing a business would be acceptable as long as it pertains to something that would benefit our Griffs.
12. OFF TOPIC POSTS Any post that is off topic humor should contain ***** in the subject line. Also, any post that is controversial or heated should contain HOT TOPIC in the subject line. By doing this, it will make it easy for those who do not wish to read posts of this type to simply hit the delete key.
13. NEVER, NEVER use an autoresponder for list mail. If you are going on vacation or unable to pick up your mail, just set your subscription to NOMAIL. Anyone using an autoresponder will be deleted from the list and will then have to resubscribe to the list.
14. GRIFFY-L is not to be used for any illegal or illicit purposes.
15. By continuing your subscription to GRIFFY-L, you agree abide by these rules and the conditions in this Welcome message and the Disclaimer.
16. List membership is a privilege, not a right.
    All decisions made by the list owners are final. The bottom line is that your list administrators may add, remove or review your subscription as they see fit. If you have a problem with the list management, a decision by the list owners, need help or advice about the list or even have something nice to say :-), your message should be sent OFF-LIST to:

    GRIFFY-L-REQUEST@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU

    This address will reach anyone involved in management of GRIFFY-L and it will also send you an auto-response of a brief summary of LISTSERV® commands.

    Note:
    This is a privately-administrated list, and as such, there is no "right to free speech" (To U.S. citizens: Constitutional right to free speech is limited to the U.S.Government ONLY. If you would like more information on this subject, please refer to the Cyber-Law web site, at: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/eff/Legal/CyberLaw_Course/cyberlaw.040
    A very clear quote from this site, reads:
    "Determine whether the *government* is imposing the speech restriction. U.S. Constitutional free speech guarantees apply only to the government (any federal, state, or local agency, including public universities and public employers). If the speech restriction is imposed by a *private* entity, the First Amendment does NOT apply."

ARCHIVES

To visit the archives or to make changes in your options go to:
http://www.listserv.iupui.edu/archives/griffy-l.html

Past archives of GRIFFY-L (called LOGs) are available for downloading by subscribers to the list. They are saved on a monthly basis. Archives are kept for 6 months. A list of the archives available can be retrieved by sending in the command: INDEX GRIFFY-L which sends you the start date of each LOG. To retrieve a LOG, send in the command GET GRIFFY-L LOGYYMMWW where YY= the year and MM = the month (must use two digits) and ww=week in alphabetical format (for first week use A, for second week use B, etc. For example, the log for the first week in January 1997 would beLOG9701A. You can also *search* the archives for certain words if you want previous posts that mention something specific. The command is: SEARCH 'searchstring' IN GRIFFY-L but replace the word 'searchstring' with whatever text you want to search for. If you want to do something that is not noted above, use the HELP command in your mail message. Also: When you send a command message to the LISTSERV, you can have multiple commands per message, just make sure that you put a separate command on each line of the message and do NOT include your signature at the end. If your address starts to bounce, the List Owner will either put you on NOMAIL or unsubscribe you, depending on what the bounce messages say. If you stop receiving mail, check your status using the QUERY option. For techie problems or other issues related to GRIFFY-L, please send email to the List Owners (not to the List). Include a detailed description of what went wrong. Ideally, enclose the full text, including the headers, of any error messages that you get. The default for this list is MAIL REPRO, which means that all the messages will be sent individually and you receive a copy of the message that you posted. If you would prefer to have the messages sent to you in digest, use the command: SET GRIFFY-L DIGEST If you are not seeing some people's return address and you want more information in your headers: SET GRIFFY-L DUALHDR

GRIFFY-L ROSTER

A roster of GRIFFY-L members and their introductions is maintained and available to only those subscribers who submit an introduction. The reason for this is that recently lists of this type have been hit by"spammers." To explain: A spammer is a person who subscribes to a list with the intention to get a list of subscribers for commercial advertising purposes.  Due to this problem, it is necessary for our subscriber list to remain confidential and only available to those who have submitted an introduction. This is a security measure to protect the GRIFFY-L subscribers from unwanted solicitation.
IMPORTANT: The list of subscribers is not available by command but will be posted to the list upon request.

Subscribers are hereby informed that the presence of any professional (i.e. breeder, handler, judge, veterinarian, etc.) on this list is NOT to be construed as a recommendation by the list owners, IUPUI or members of this list. List owners or members of the GRIFFY-L list are not liable for any decisions you make regarding advice you receive on this list. Opinions expressed on this list are not necessarily the opinions of the list owner. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws and regulations when using this list.
