 Copyright (C) 1993 Neutral Zone Echo Network, all rights reserved.
           Thomas Walker & Marc A. Stuart, co-founders


Every network in existence should have a purpose and a general set of
guidelines.  The Neutral Zone Echo Network (NZENet) is no different in
that respect.  Please take the time to read it.


                        PURPOSE OF THE NETWORK
                        ======================

Born on September 8, 1993, on the 27th anniversary of the broadcast of
the first episode of STAR TREK ("The Man Trap"), NZENet was created to
provide a broad forum for fellow Trekkies/Trekkers to get together and
chat about life beyond the 22nd Century, and what we may be able to do
about life in the 20th Century.


                          NETWORK GUIDELINES
                          ==================

1)   This is a PG-13 network, and all members of NZENet are expected to
     act accordingly.

2)   NZENet may not be used for any illegal activities.  Anyone found to
     be engaging in illegal activities will be summarily dismissed from
     the network.  The appropriate authorities may be notified.

3)   NZENet, its founders, and/or its users will not be held liable for
     any problems or damages caused by information given, either expressed
     or implied.  Any information may be used at your own risk.

4)   NZENet moderators have ABSOLUTE authority in their respective
     echos.  It is recommended that the NZENet moderators use the "three
     strikes" method of moderation.  A moderator may issue a warning
     whenever he/she feels it is necessary.  Users wishing to challenge
     the authority of a particular moderator should politely voice their
     complaints in the Complaint Echo.  No reasonable complaint will be
     ignored, and all decisions will be final.

5)   Should a user be "removed" from an area, it is each SysOp's duty to
     make sure that the removed person can no longer access that area at
     all.  Should a SysOp fail to do this, possible action will be taken
     against that particular BBS.

6)   The co-founders of this network (Marc Stuart and Tom Walker) will
     act as the "governing body".  Final decisions by them are not open
     for debate.  Such decisions will be properly identified.

Persons wishing to challenge this policy or those who have complaints
and/or suggestions should leave a message to either Tom Walker or Marc
Stuart in the Complaint Echo.  Users as well as SysOps are invited
to contribute their thoughts and ideas.

If anyone is interested in starting another echo, contact Tom Walker at
anytime with your suggestion.  Enjoy the Network!
