The following is a discussion of the purpose of the ATP-EMTP List, conditions of usage, and common sense rules. Release news from ATP developers Suggest directions for ATP development, report bugs, etc. The intent is to limit discussions to licensed ATP users, so we can discuss and share information without violating the terms of our license agreement.
Subscribers can add and remove themselves from the list, so it is self-maintaining.
So far I have been very lenient, as I understand that everyone can slip up once or twice, and therefore deserves a second chance. Rules of acceptible behavior have never been specified, and I hesitate to do so. Basically, if common sense and professional ettiquette are used, there should be no problem. We want to exchange quality information without the clutter of jokes, insults, self-agrandizement, etc., that typify the newsgroups. Material received from the Fargo list server is not in the public domain, and generally must not be disclosed to persons who are not ATP-licensed.
